Mozart first conquered Vienna with his vivacious comedyThe Abduction from the Seraglio,which features rollicking Turkish-flavored music, virtuosic solo singing, stupendous duets and ensembles, and the exotic setting of a Turkish harem. A freewheeling tale of two women purchased from pirates by the Pasha Selim and their eventual rescue by their lovers, the work's style is strongly similar to that ofThe Magic Flute,with even more death-defyingly difficult acrobatic singing by both of the women and the Pasha's servant, the comically lecherous bass Osmin. Performance is Friday, February 17, 2017, 8:00pm. Schuster Center. Call to reserve your tickets for the A-tier.
