The evening

What’s special about this opera is that there’s no one star – every single member of the cast is as important as the next – it’s a team effort, including the orchestra and chorus. That team gets to play and sing some of Mozart’s most stunningly beautiful music – including incredible moments when all four soloists come together for passages of stunning intricacy and emotional power.
