THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO
Mozart at his best – lively, fast and playful. An upstairs/downstairs farce with the best overture in opera history, featuring captivating orchestration and a feast of timpani. The ensemble finale with its iconic fifth leaps is a masterpiece of musical purity and emotional release on an almost religious level.
COSÌ FAN TUTTE
Così fan tutte is an almost entirely modern
reality show opera with fabulous music and plenty of mischief. Two men test their girlfriends’ fidelity and get their noses out of joint. It was an amoral scandal in Copenhagen 200 years ago. The production premiered and was quickly taken off the bill.

DON GIOVANNI
The ultimate offensive opera. A daring opera comedy with hilarious complications, recognisable caricatures and a Me Too-relevant dilemma. If you are faithful to one woman, you betray all the others! Some of Mozart’s most beautiful and dramatic opera music.
THE MAGIC FLUTE
An adventurous, highly complicated love story wrapped up in a convoluted moral sermon about wisdom and beauty.
Mozart’s wonderful music, with huge hits such as the breakneck soprano aria sung by the character Queen of the Night and the Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Papageno duet shines as an evergreen soundtrack.

TITUS
Mozart’s last and rarely performed opera. It is a
troublesome and, in places, unintentionally comical celebration of imperial empathy and kindness, unfolding at the end of a
treacherous assassination attempt initiated by jealousy and love.
The opera contains only momentary flashes of Mozart’s magic, inventiveness and musical clarity.
