Energy and good humour meet musical exoticism in Mozart's earliest operatic success - the storybook fantasy The Abduction from the Seraglio. Inspired by the 18th-century vogue for all things Eastern, Die Entf眉hrung tells the tale of the young Spanish nobleman Belmonte as he attempts to rescue his fianc茅e Konstanze from the seraglio (harem) of Pasha Selim, a Turkish despot. Aided by his servant Pedrillo, who wishes to be reunited with Konstanze's maid Blonde, they set out to outwit the fearsome Osmin with their flight, but instead fall to the mercy of the Pasha ...
Die Entf眉hrung boasts some of Mozart's most spectacularly virtuosic vocal music, particularly for its brave heroine, Konstanze. Glyndebourne Festival Opera returns for its annual visit to the Proms under Music Director Robin Ticciati, with an international cast led by British soprano Sally Matthews and Lithuanian tenor Edgaras Montvidas. This semi-staged production is sung and spoken in German.

There will be two intervals, at approximately 7.45 pm and 9.15 pm.
