→Mozart's Zauberflöte, or The Magic Flute: add info about clip

Here's a fantastic Youtube clip of the "Three Boys" from Mozart's Magic Flute. One of the great paeans to [[The Enlightenment]], the three boys in this opera (technically a ''Singspiel'') sing about a better future free of war and ruled by reason. It's a shame that 200 years later, we're still not there yet.

This clip is from a legendary 1983 performance by the [[Munich]] opera, with the incomparable Lucia Popp singing the role of Pamina.
