From Booklist
Gr. 5^-9. Switzer's book is really three stories in one--all linked by the genius of Mozart. The author first tells the story of Mozart's life from its inauspicious beginnings to its too-abrupt ending. Along the way, readers gain outstanding insights into Mozart's complex personality, his awe-inspiring talent, and his never-ending struggle to make ends meet. Second, Switzer provides a child-friendly libretto of the opera The Magic Flute, enhanced by photographs of the Salzburg Marionettes in performance. The third section introduces the Salzburg Marionette Theater, which specializes in Mozart operas. The audience for this book is slim, perhaps, but this is a fine biography in which Mozart becomes accessible--a real person full of integrity and ability, as well as pride and irresponsibility. Costas' photographs of the marionettes are dramatically lighted and composed, and the inside scoop on puppetry should appeal to young would-be puppeteers. Julie Yates Walton
From School Library Journal
Grade 6 Up?A lavish book that combines biographical material, the story of Mozart's most famous opera, and detailed information on the world-renowned Salzburg Marionettes. Switzer first presents an accurate, enthusiastic portrait of the maestro. There are no illustrations in this section, but the coverage is detailed and complete. Part two, with white type on black pages, presents impressive full-color photographs of the Salzburg Marionettes in a production of The Magic Flute. The story is beautifully told and the closeup shots of the puppets are exquisite. Part three explains puppetry in general and the Salzburg company in particular. A few small black-and-white photographs depict the backstage operations and costumes. This fine offering is a special title for music lovers and serious students of the opera.?Beth Tegart, Oneida City Schools, NY
