Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio

Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio

Presented by Lyric Opera of Kansas City at Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts

The only thing harder than breaking into Hollywood is breaking out.

This risqué rom-com transplants Mozart’s trademark melodies to 1930s Tinseltown, where a “legitimate businessman” kidnaps a dishy deb with even prettier pipes and locks her away in his swanky nightclub.

While her honey puts together a plan to free the club’s new canary from her cage, her singing sparks a sweetness beneath the intimidating exterior of the buttoned-up boss. But with a gorilla guarding the door to her dressing room, it’ll take more than a little luck to break her outta the joint. Until then, the showgirl must go on.
