Papageno (altos), having lost Papagena (sopranos) in the evil Sarastro's castle, sits along in the garden and prepares to take his life to end his sorrows. Three spirits appear, urging him to once again play his magic bells and look around. Much to his surprise and joy, he sees his beloved Papagena. Joyfully united, the two sing of their eternal happiness, love and their many future children.
