About this concert
Although aspiring castrati suffered beneath the barber-surgeon’s blade, a select number rose to fame and fortune as stars of the 18th-century stage. Classical Opera’s programme explores the legacy of those who worked with Mozart. Arias from seven of the composer’s operas are complemented by his famous motet Exsultate, Jubilate and arias by Thomas Arne and Johann Christian Bach.
This concert will be approximately two hours in duration with a 20-minute interval.
