Mozart: Die Entführung aus dem Serail
Kidnapped by pirates and sold into a harem, Konstanze and Blonde plot their escape. But when hope seems lost, help comes from an unexpected quarter. In Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio) Mozart’s colourful score is perfectly matched by David McVicar’s gorgeous, tender staging, set in the sun-filled gardens and shady terraces of an 18th-century palace.
Sung in German with English supertitles.

Full Event Details
Love, intrigue and adventure meet in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s dazzling drama, his first opera for Vienna – an ambitious calling card intended to establish him at the musical heart of this sophisticated society and a tender music-drama that anticipates the Da Ponte operas to come.
Kidnapped by pirates and sold into a harem, Konstanze and Blonde plot their escape. But when hope seems lost, help comes from an unexpected quarter. In Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio) Mozart’s colourful score is perfectly matched by David McVicar’s gorgeous, tender staging, set in the sun-filled gardens and shady terraces of an 18th-century palace.
