Barcelona's Teatre del Liceu presents Mozart's singspiel in an elegant production by Christof Loy with a splendid cast of top stars headed by coloratura soprano Diana Damrau in her debut at Spain's largest and most distinguished opera house. Damrau's "charismatic stage presence announced… that we were in the presence of a great singer", wrote Opera News.
Starring along with Damrau are Olga Peretyatko, Christoph Strehl, Norbert Ernst and Franz-Josef Selig. Christof Loy portrays Konstanze and Blonde as having developed profound feelings of respect, admiration and even love for their captors.
