Papageno

baritone

Papageno the bird catcher is the opera's beloved everyman, happier with wine, supper and a sweetheart than with heroic trials. Mozart wrote the role for Emanuel Schikaneder, the first Papageno, mixing folk-song simplicity with perfect comic timing. His entrance song 'Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja' wins the audience within a minute.
