The Abduction from the Seraglio, Eiffel Arts Studios Budapest, 29 May
- 29 May 2026 7:00 PM
- classical
A gripping plot – in this case the story of young lovers fighting to escape the seraglio – is in and of itself one of the keys to a successful dramatic work. However, the varied music written by a twenty-something Mozart, with its freshness and a few oriental touches, makes the singspiel The Abduction from the Seraglio completely irresistible.
The production, the first opera staging by Miklós ...
