Mozart - Die Entführung aus dem Serail
Die Entführung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio) is one of W. A. Mozart’s five great repertoire operas. A huge success during the composer’s lifetime, it has yet to lose any of its magic. Michael Hampe’s amusing yet sensitive staging of Entführung aus dem Serail at the Schwetzingen Festival features Gianluigi Gelmetti conducting soloists Ruth Ann Swenson and Kurt Rydl. Recorded at the small, jewel-like Rococo theatre at Schwetzingen Palace, the ensemble’s tight performance is interspersed with beautiful dialogue delivered with precision.
