The third of DGs series of seven Mozart operas conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and initiated by Rolando Villazón, in collaboration with Festspielhaus Baden Baden, U-Live, and sponsored by ROLEX.

Following up a completely enthralling (Opernglas) Così fan tutte and the most exciting and consistently well-sung Don Giovanni for some years (Opera) with another Baden-Baden Festival Mozart production,Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts this similarly acclaimed 2014 Entführung aus dem Serail: Well-deserved cheers for all participants (Online Musik Magazin).

It was recorded live in the stunning venue of Festspielhaus Baden Baden and features a star cast full of critically-acclaimed artists including Diana Damrau, the reigning Konstanze of our time with an extraordinary strong showing of Deutsche Grammophon artists.

The music of Die Entführung aus dem Serail is easyly accessible and aims at a broad audience: At the heart of Mozarts genius there is always a disarming simplicity; this music was meant to be sung on the street, to touch everyone. - Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
