Zaide (Sadler's Wells Theatre, Inner London) Sadler's Wells Theatre, Inner London, Greater London Rosebery Avenue, Greater London, EC1R 4TN The Classical Opera Company makes a welcome return to Sadler’s Wells to present the world premiere of its new completion of Mozart’s Zaide. Mozart wrote some seventy minutes of music for this remarkable opera, including the celebrated Ruhe sanft, and clearly held it in high regard. He feared, however, that the work was too serious for Viennese taste, and the unfinished score was left to gather dust. This new completion has been created by conductor Ian Page, with a new English text by Michael Symmons Roberts and Ben Power. The opera is directed by Melly Still, whose previous work includes the award-winning Coram Boy at the National Theatre and Rusalka at the Glyndebourne Festival. The title role is sung by the exciting young South African soprano Pumeza Matshikiza, with rising tenor Andrew Goodwin as Gomatz.
