    The Abduction from the Seraglio

    Reviewed by

    Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail is not really an opera as such but what Mozart called a SINGSPIEL. I don't like this Amadeus work all set in the confines of a Turkish harem. The only reason I wanted to see it was because of the two glorious sopranos, EDITA GRUBEROVA and RERI GRIST, an Afro American coloratura soprano who made it really big in Germany and performed in Europe for most of her career. It was also of interest to hear FRANCISCO ARAIZA at the top of his vocal powers. However, this light schtick is below MOZART as Beethoven often pointed out. For Die Hard Opera Fans!
