About

The unforgettable "masterful use of light and silhouettes" (Milano Post) with which Giorgio Strehler interpreted the charm of Mozart’s Singspiel was conceived for the Salzburg Festival, where it was staged in 1965 under the baton of then 29-year-old Zubin Mehta, and then regularly revived at La Scala from 1972 onwards. At twenty years since the death of the great director, who from 1951 staged some by-now legendary operas at La Scala, Teatro alla Scala proposed anew this celebrated staging and called to the podium the man who conducted it the first time – Zubin Mehta. The stage set with magnificent palace architecture and a sea view at centre is a veritable feast for the eyes, which is equally true for the elaborately and lovingly designed costumes. The viewer feels like he’s being transported into the oriental aura. The fact that the current performance is conducted by Maestro Zubin Mehta, now over 80 years old, builds a bridge to Strehler’s Salzburg production, which dates back more than half a century, and at the same time provides a touching detail of this timelessly monumental performance.

Reviews

One set covers the entire action: a view of the sea and the occasional passing ship, with domes alternating with arches to left and right. The costumes for the Europeans are of period elegance, Belmonte sporting a three-cornered hat; Osmin has baggy trousers and an enormous turban. ... The scene where Pedrillo gets Osmin drunk is genuinely amusing, with no concessions to political correctness. ... the playing is splendid. The balance is good, too: you can really hear the obbligato instruments in ‘Martern aller Arten’ ... this is a delight.  Richard Lawrence
