Even in Mozart's own time, just as Wolfgang Amadeus himself was charming the Prague public with the full productions of his operas, there existed various arrangements of his arias and vocal parts adapted for chamber ensembles. There are many records of such perfromances in the Estates Theatre musical archives. Unfortunately, this tradition was later passed over and forgotten and music lovers have been missing out on the unique harmony of the human voice accompanied by a trio of wind instruments.
Mozartissimo is not just an ordinary classical music performance. Using Mozart's famous sense of humor, it brings to stage a selection from operas Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, Entführung aus dem Serail and Die Zauberflöte in colourful arrangements for vocals, oboe, clarinet and bassoon. Under the guidance of composer Jaroslav Krèek, the wind trio has been able to substitute the sound of a whole orchestra.
Mozartissimo transports the audience back to Mozart's own time with it's faithful period production, with all performers in period costume. Since opening in September 1997 Mozartissimo has had more than two hundred successful seasons, not only in Mozart's traditional environments of Prague and Salzburg but also worldwide. Mozartissimo has received an excited and warm reception in France, Germany, Spain, Japan and Brazil as well.
