“Mozart was a playful guy, who did what he liked.”
After 11 years, this fun and lively production from the prestigious Semperoper in Dresden, is returning to Olavinlinna with a fresh cast. Johannes Erath’s production highlights the finest qualities of one of the greatest comic operas, with clever costumes and vibrant, dynamic direction. Together with Mozart’s absolute mastery of musical comedy, but also for intimate moments full of beauty, vulnerability and finesse, this evening is something special, that has captivated our audience also in the year 2015.
