Classical Part I - Mozart
|
Mozart’s operas are regarded as the pinnacle of 18th century opera composition and belong in the main repertoire of most opera houses. Immense beauty, stunning inventiveness, sparkling wit and highly dramatic effects make these works outstanding masterpieces. Mozart composed masterful examples of different styles of opera, the German ‘Singspiel’, the Italian ‘opera seria’ (serious opera) and the Italian ‘opera buffa’ (comic opera). In each case his phenomenal insight into the psychology of each character has guaranteed the popularity of these great operas.
