About

Mozart was only 16 when he wrote his seventh opera, Lucio Silla. But even as a teenager Mozart could knock spots off leading colleagues with his incredible musical imagination. He set the action in ancient Rome, where a tyrannical dictator is torn between power and love.

There are very few CD recordings of this work of Mozart’s youth. Here, Dacapo present a new interpretation which shows that the opera fully deserves a place on the opera stages and CD shelves of the world.

The Danish Radio Sinfonietta and the Austro-Hungarian star conductor Adam Fischer have polished up this neglected Mozart jewel, and this disc is a welcome addition to the already available Mozart Symphonies series on Dacapo with Fischer and the DRS.

Libretto: Giovanni di Gamerra
Reductions in recitatives made by Richard Lewis.
