This sparkling comedy is one of Mozart’s most popular early operas. It was premiered in Munich in January 1775, and Mozart wrote home to his mother: ‘My opera turned out so well that it is impossible for me to describe… After every aria there was the most frightening clamour, with clapping and shouts of “Viva Maestro!”.’

The Mozartists have attracted widespread acclaim for their stylish and dramatic performances of Mozart’s operas, and this performance – part of the company’s ground-breaking MOZART 250 series – features an outstanding line-up of young singers headed by Ava Dodd and Hugo Brady.
