Da Ponte - A light-hearted drama in one act an evening all about Mozart's librettist Lorenzo da Ponte
Mozart's music in Figaro, Così and Don Giovanni is unique. But what would it be without its texts? They were written by Lorenzo da Ponte, whose real name was Emmanuele Conegliano, who was born in Italy in 1749 and died in New York in 1838.
With actor Ahmad Mesgarha and the two sopranos Elisabeth Freyhoff and Tereza Glosová, accompanied by Richard Röbel on fortepiano, we take a humorous and serious dive into the life of this extraordinary artistic personality.
