Tamino - Papademos, or perhaps Rajoy or Kenny Papageno - Berlusconi Pamina - Merkel Queen of the Night - Thatcher? Sarasto - Draghi, or perhaps some other Eurocrat Monostatos - Sarko
At the end of the opera, Papagena (as some sort of embodiment of fiscal responsibility) could dress Papageno in a new costume, one that makes him look more like Monti.
Unfortunately, I can't think of a PIG which hasn't had a change of government recently, so we can't have a Tamino who has come to realize the importance of fiscal rectitude.
Mostly, I like Berlusconi as Papageno. That works on a number of levels.
