ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

Under its Artistic Director Claudio Abbado, the Orchestra Mozart, founded in 2004, makes its Festival debut. The programme unites Mozart’s earliest known Mass, dated 1768, with Schubert’s last composition in this genre – “certainly one of his most profound and most perfect works,” as one reviewer of the posthumous world premiere already remarked.
