Synopsis:
This sorely-neglected opera comes from Mozart's early catalogue. Written in 1774, it tells the story of a Countess who disguises herself as a gardener in order to find and forgive her lover, who thinks he has killed her in a quarrel. The opera contains elements of both opera seria and opera buffa, and contains a rich and full orchestration, with prominent parts for wind in particular being an unusual feature. Stage direction comes from Swedish director Goran Jarvefelt, who sadly died the year after this production was staged.
