The Sources of Music and The Triumph of Music

The Sources of Music and The Triumph of Music are two murals that Marc Chagall painted in 1966 for the Metropolitan Opera House at the Lincoln Center in New York City.

Following a commission by the opera for Chagall's set and costume design for Mozart's The Magic Flute for its inaugural season, the murals were created for the lobby of the opera house, and are visible to the outside plaza. The murals are approximately 30 ft (9.1 m) by 36 ft (11 m). The south wall holds the work entitled The Triumph of Music and the north wall, The Sources of Music. Chagall had intended the reverse of this arrangement.

The director of the Metropolitan Opera, Rudolf Bing, is depicted in one of the murals playing a mandolin. The composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is depicted in The Triumph of Music, flying above Manhattan and interacting with characters from his opera The Magic Flute.
