Dude, Public Domain works can be copy-righted again?

Thank god lady_krysis is online, because I am freaking out.

I'm in the process of doing some preliminary research to write a novel about the Queen of the Night from the Magic Flute, and I. Well. I'm just freaking out. D:

ETA: The Magic Flute is safe because it's out of copyright in both the US and it's home country. Story can continue apace.
