Description: "In the liberetto of this new Mozart opera Paul Griffiths cunningly interweaves the texts of a number of Mozartian fragments (by Metastasio, Goldoni, da Ponte and others) to create a work that casts a revealing light on opera, both tragic and comic, and on the life of Mozart himself."--Jacket.
Notes: Compiled, translated, and reordered by Paul Griffiths, principally from various Mozart opera arias (originally composed for insertion into other operas), concert arias, and ensembles, to create a new dramatic entity.
