4: Mozart in Vienna (1781-83)
Mozart was, quite literally, kicked out of the archbishop's service, and set himself up as a freelance musician in Vienna.
These early Viennese years began to see his first real success with his opera Die
Entfuhrungaus dem Serail. Mozart stayed with the Weberfamily, where he fell in love with and then married Aloysia's sister,
Constanze. Presented by Donald Macleod. Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail (Act 2, quartet) Luba Orgonasova and Cyndia Sieden (sopranos), Stanford Olsen and Uwe Peper (tenors), English Baroque
