Synopsis
Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail is a Singspiel, with sung arias and ensembles and spoken dialogue, just like The Magic Flute/Die Zauberflöte (that we performed last December). Die Entführung aus dem Serail is prized for duets such as Osmin and Pedrillo’s comic drinking duet “Vivat Bacchus,” and Belmonte and Konstanze’s intensely lyrical “Meinetwegen sollst du sterben;” and for arias such as Belmonte’s “O wie ängstlich, o wie feurig” and of course Konstanze’s fireworks in “Martern aller Arten.”
Conductor: Alan Yost
