Das Lächeln einer Sommernacht
Evidon suggests that the characters of Frid and Petra in Bergman's 1955 film "Smiles of a Summer Night", and Johan and Alma in his "Hour of the Wolf" (1968) pre-figure his conception of Papageno and Papagena, and Tamino and Pamina respectively in "The Magic Flute". The latter film includes a puppet-theatre sequence of part of act 1 of the opera. Evidon also sees a parallel between Bergman's treatment of Sarastro and Amfortas in "Parsifal".
