Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
Performance Information: Mischa Santora conducting The Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, June 2, 2013 at School for Creative & Performing Arts Corbett Auditorium.
Mozart began work on the opera in October 1785, and managed to finish the long work in time for the May 1, 1786 premiere, despite other commitments: in particular, two other operatic projects, the one-act backstage farce The Impresario and some additional numbers for a revival of his 1781 drama Idomeneo.
