Mozart’s early masterpiece

Although Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was only 18 years old when he wrote his “dramma giocoso” La finta giardiniera, he was already an experienced operatic composer. And so this rarely-played stage work, performed here by the Karajan Academy and vocal soloists from Baden-Württemberg music colleges, is regarded as one of Mozart’s early masterpieces. The opera is about an aristocratic lady who goes “undercover” as a gardener to win back the heart of a man she had once cast off out of unfounded jealousy.
