Victorian Opera

The Abduction from the Seraglio is the epitome of Mozart’s musical genius. With bold, contemporary staging and updated libretto, Victorian Opera is reimagining this opera for modern audiences.

The darkly comic opera tells the story of Konstanze and Blonde, who are kidnapped by the mysterious Pasha Selim. He holds them captive and falls desperately in love with Konstanze.

Konstanze’s fiancé Belmonte attempts a daring rescue with the help from his trusted right-hand man Pedrillo, Blonde’s sweetheart. But their efforts are thwarted by Pasha Selim’s villainous offsider Osmin.

Weaved between the drama of heroism and suffering are moving moments of unrequited love, unshakeable loyalty, and even a few laughs. Mozart’s score is rich with feeling, nuance and breathless energy. It is a historic masterpiece of theatre that everyone should see at least once, if they have the chance.

Victorian Opera presents a bold adaptation of Mozart’s early masterpiece, The Abduction from the Seraglio, reimagined as Abduction at the Palais Theatre from 12–16 August. Prepare for the most seductive night at the opera you’ll ever have, featuring a stellar cast including Lyndon Watts (Candide, Hamilton) as beguiling figurehead The Pasha.

Premiering in Vienna in 1782, Mozart’s playful sex comedy is a dazzling example of German Singspiel, blending spoken dialogue with virtuosic vocal fireworks. Director Constantine Costi (Melbourne Cheremushki) brings a cheeky, modern edge to this classic with a fresh, English-language libretto that delves into themes of lust, obsession and unwavering loyalty.

The story follows Blonde and Konstanze, two young women who slip away from their well-meaning but bumbling fiancés, Pedrillo and Belmonte, in search of excitement at the mysterious and hedonistic House of the Pasha.

To meet Mozart’s demanding score, Victorian Opera has assembled a cast of Australia’s most exciting young singers—many returning from celebrated careers in Europe.

Cleo Lee-McGowan and Kyle Stegall star as two of Mozart’s most passionate lovers, Konstanze and Belmonte. They are joined by recent Green Room Award winners Katherine Allen (Candide) and Douglas Kelly (La Rondine) in the roles of Blonde and Pedrillo.

Musical theatre star Lyndon Watts brings irresistible charm to the role of the enigmatic Pasha, in a pivotal non-singing role. Making his company debut, Luke Stoker stars as Osmin, the Pasha’s intense right-hand man.

Don’t miss this seductive night at the opera.
