The best 'Abduction' available,
By Luiz Abreu (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mozart - conducted by Georg Solti, with The Royal Opera, Covent Garden [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I found this a very fine production of Mozart's masterwork "The Abduction from the seraglio". What can we say about the music but that it is Mozart at his best, his second master opera (of the seven he wrote in the last decade of his life) and therefore some of the most beautiful music ever composed. The production is lively and colorful, with exquisite sets and costumes: one exception: why is Pasha Selim dressed in western-style clothes when he first appears? Kurt Moll's performance is excellent as usual and I also liked Lillian Watson as a very funny Blondie. The opera is sung in the original German, with English subtitles.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This production was directed by Sir Georg Solti, not by Bernard Haitink.
