The Magic Flute
“We only see Bergman, we only hear Mozart”
Synopsis
In this film adaptation of the popular Mozart opera, The Queen of the Night enlists the help of a handsome prince named Tamino to rescue her kidnapped daughter, Princess Pamina. Accompanied by the lovelorn bird hunter Papageno and guided by a magical flute capable of changing the hearts of men, Tamino begins a journey to find true love. His quest leads him to the temple of the evil Sarastro, where Pamina is being held captive.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 15
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
