Enchantment meets Enlightenment politics in Mozart’s final operatic masterpiece. True love conquers all in a colourful fairytale that pits the forces of darkness against truth, goodness and light. Barbe et Doucet direct this 2019 production from the Glyndebourne Festival in the UK bringing fresh wit and insight into Mozart’s multifaceted final comedy. The action is reimagined with madcap invention and dreamlike spontaneity, offering the perfect backdrop to outstanding vocal performances by Glyndebourne's cast, complemented by Ryan Wigglesworth's conducting of the period-instrument Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
