USU Opera: "The Abduction from the Seraglio" by Mozart
"The Abduction from the Seraglio"
("Die Entführung aus dem Serail")
Music by W.A. Mozart, Libretto by G. Stephanie
After his fiancée Konstanze, his servant Pedrillo, and his fiancée’s chambermaid Blonde have been captured by pirates and sold to the harem of local Ottoman lord Pasha Selim, Belmonte attempts a daring rescue involving subterfuge, deceit, and no small amount of luck. As one of only two of Mozart’s Singspiele that are regularly performed (the other being The Magic Flute), this work combines his musical brilliance with light-hearted comedy delivered in spoken scenes in a style presaging modern musical theatre.
