Singer

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was only fifteen years old when he composed "Ascanio in Alba." Celebrated throughout Europe as a child prodigy, he received the prestigious commission from Empress Maria Theresa for the wedding of her son, Archduke Ferdinand, in Milan. The work is an allegorical festival drama: Venus unites her son Ascanio with the nymph Silvia, who is of divine lineage. Magnificent choruses, a festive orchestra, and virtuosic arias in the style of opera seria made the serenata a resounding success at its premiere. Christophe Rousset and his ensemble Les Talens Lyriques will be performing this concert version at the Zurich Opera House for the first time.
