Between Love, Captivity, and Forgiveness

Mozart's Singspiel, premiered in Vienna in 1782, takes us to a Turkish seraglio. The Spanish nobleman Belmonte tries to rescue his beloved Konstanze from the captivity of Pasha Selim. Together with his servant Pedrillo, he also wants to save Blonde and her companion. From the dramatic rescue plan unfolds a multifaceted play about love, courage, freedom, and humanity.

Virtuoso Arias and Characterful Music

The dramaturgy thrives on the interplay between spoken dialogues and musical numbers. Arias such as Martern aller Arten and Osmin's O, how I want to triumph unfold Mozart's unique connection of vocal virtuosity, comic character depiction, and emotional depth. The semi-staged production places the voices, the musical design, and the immediate theater atmosphere at its center.
