1773 – A Retrospective
Part of the MOZART 250 Series
Add to my Calendar 17-01-2023 19:30 17-01-2023 21:30 36 1773 – A Retrospective This entertaining and illuminating selection of works composed in 1773 begins with one of Mozart’s most genial middle-period symphonies and ends with his first enduringly popular masterpiece. In between, Haydn’s famed horn writing takes the instrument to the almost ridiculous extremes of its compass, while soprano Alexandra Lowe, making her eagerly anticipated company début, sings arias that are by turns dramatic, lyrical and virtuosic. There will be a free pre-performance talk by Ian Page at 6.15pm. Wigmore Hall, London DD/MM/YYYYDetails
