Programme Note
The first concert of our 2018-19 season culminates with a performance of Mozart’s Bastien und Bastienne, marking the release of our new recording of the work and the 250th anniversary of its composition. This performance, based on research developed since the relatively recent rediscovery of Mozart’s autograph manuscript, will recreate the original 1768 version of this charming pastoral comedy for the first time since its première.
There will be a pre-concert talk from conductor and artistic director of Classical Opera and The Mozartists, setting the works in context and describing the background and process of recreating the original version of Bastien und Bastienne. (Tickets: £5)
