CONCERT PRORGAMME

• Mozart
  Abduction from the Seraglio

Lasts 2’’ 50’ inc. interval.

Recognized as undeniably the most important piece Mozart has composed on Turkish music, the opera of ‘The Abduction from the Seraglio’ will meet the audience at the Topkapı Palace. The extraordinary story of Belmonte coming to İstanbul in search of his lover Constanze will come alive with the modern interpretation of Yekta Kara in İstanbul, the meeting point for the East and the West.
