Metropolitan Opera

Die Entfuhrung Aus Dem Serail by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto written by  Christoph Friedrich Bretzner with adaptations by Gottlieb Stephanie

Approximate running time: 3 HRS 19 MIN

Met Music Director James Levine returns to a work he has long cherished, Mozart’s delightful comic gem of wily captives in a harem. Coloratura soprano sensation Albina Shagimuratova stars in the bravura role of Konstanze. Rising tenor Paul Appleby is her lover, Belmonte, soprano Kathleen Kim is her shrewd maid, Blondchen, and bass Hans-Peter König delivers comic gravitas as the overseer of the harem

Sung in: German
