In the summer of 1782, in his twenties, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart celebrated his greatest opera success yet. With Die Entführung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio), he composed an enormously significant, pioneering work for the Deutsches Nationalsingspiel that had been founded by the Habsburg emperor Joseph II in Vienna, with inspired music and impressively rendered characters.

Mozart brought his wealth of experience with Italian opera to this work, always with an eye for creating a lively, exciting opera experience, combining captivating melodies and vocal brilliance with deeply felt emotions and striking profiles for the characters with their different life worlds. In addition, his distinctive sense for timbre and precisely developed musical processes know how to keep our attention at every moment. Just as the language is translated to music in an amazingly sensitive way, the music takes on an extraordinarily rhetorical power.
