What Makes This Concert So Special?
Mozart could break your heart, make you laugh and leave you breathless – and this concert unleashes all of it.
Symphony No. 40 grabs you almost immediately with its restless energy and emotional intensity. Then there is Mozart the opera composer! Meet the noble Sarastro of The Magic Flute, laugh along with the beleaguered Leporello of Don Giovanni, and revel in the irrepressible Figaro. One great bass voice brings all three wonderfully different characters to life.
And Wait Until You Hear This
Mozart pairs the bass voice with a virtuoso double bass in the astonishing For This Beautiful Hand (Per questa bella mano). Listen as the two performers challenge, answer and play off one another in a breathtaking musical display.
