The Road to Rome (Mozart in Italy – Concert 2)

Part of the The Mozartist 2020 - Mozart in Italy Series

Add to my Calendar 07-03-2020 19:30 07-03-2020 21:30 36 The Road to Rome (Mozart in Italy – Concert 2) This concert charts Mozart’s journey from Milan, through Bologna and Florence to Rome. It begins with thrillingly virtuosic arias and a duet from two long-forgotten operas that Mozart heard in Milan in early February 1770, and also includes arguably the best of the symphonies that he wrote in Italy. Also featured is a concert aria now thought to have been composed in Parma for the celebrated soprano Lucrezia Agujari. During his short stay in Bologna Mozart met Josef Mysliveček, one of very few foreign composers of the time who enjoyed success and popularity in Italy, and the concert includes music from his opera La Nitteti, which evidently had a strong influence on the young Mozart. There will also be an illustrated talk at 3.30pm and a panel discussion at 5.00pm. Cadogan Hall, London DD/MM/YYYY
