Die Schuldigkeit des ersten Gebots

In the organizer's words:

Program:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: "The Obligation of the First Commandment" (sacred singspiel) KV 35

Mozart was a child prodigy who seamlessly developed into a musical genius - as far as we know! But did you know that the only 11-year-old wrote a sacred singspiel entitled "Die Schuldigkeit des ersten Gebots"? Exactly - the more mature works of a composer usually overshadow the early work! This edifying work was commissioned by the Archbishop of Salzburg for the Easter celebrations in 1767. The libretto depicts a half-hearted Christian who, despite temptations, is led back to the path of virtue by the spirit of Christianity thanks to divine mercy and justice. And what does Mozart make of this musically? He already demonstrates a masterly command of orchestral and vocal composition and his unerring sense of dramatic dimensions. Camille Delaforge and her young ensemble Il Caravaggio, which is fully committed to the theatricality, expressiveness and spirituality of its namesake, invite you to rediscover this remarkable youthful work!
