Back to All Events
Operantics brings together two sharp, fast-moving comic operas that turn the spotlight back on the artform itself.
Mozart’s The Impresario and Salieri’s Prima la musica, e poi le parole are affectionate, knowing satires of the operatic world. Packed with quick wit, vocal showmanship, and creative disputes that still feel familiar 240 years later, both works revel in backstage chaos. Singers battle for status and pay, composers and poets argue over artistic priorities, and everyone is convinced they are the most indispensable person in the room.
