Post Subject: The Abduction From the Seraglio by BSOPosted by Romy the Cat on: 7/24/2010

Last night BSO performed a concert version of Mozart “Abduction From the Seraglio”. I do not know this opera too much and had no idea what to expect. The BSO was lead by Johannes Debus – a musical director of Canadian Opera Company.

It turn out to be a very very pleasant experience. I am not sure if I like flow of the “Abduction…” - the text comments are interesting but destroy some opera dramaturgy. Still for a concert version it was OK I guess, it sounded more like oratorio. The BSO was surprisingly at it’s high. It all together it turned out to be a very-very good concert.
