Details

Part of the BBC Proms. Semi-staged: sung and spoken in German. Energy and good humour meet musical exoticism in Mozart's earliest operatic success - the storybook fantasy The Abduction from the Seraglio. It's a work born of the 18th-century fascination with the Orient and there's no resisting the jangling pulse of percussion that is the opera's heartbeat. Glyndebourne Festival Opera returns for its annual visit to the Proms under Music Director Robin Ticciati, with an international cast led by British soprano Sally Matthews and Lithuanian tenor Edgaras Montvidas. Finish time approx. 22:25
Performers Edgaras Montvidas (Belmonte), Sally Matthews (Konstanze), Mari Eriksmoen (Blonde), Brenden Patrick Gunnell (Pedrillo), Tobias Kehrer (Osmin - proms debut artist), Franck Saurel (Pasha Selim).
Company Glyndebourne Festival Opera. Company Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Conductor Robin Ticciati.
