What is Singspiel? Behind The Scenes of Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio | Opera Omaha

Did you know Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio is technically a Singspiel, rather than an opera? TICKETS: https://ticketomaha.com/Productions/a... LEARN MORE: operaomaha.org/abduction Singspiel, translated as ‘sing-play’, is a form of light-hearted German-language music drama, now considered a form of opera. Spoken dialogue moves the story forward, while songs often composed in strophic form (one melody repeated with different lyrics) provide the characters’ thoughts and reactions to events. This is in contrast to through-sung forms like most traditional opera, in which sung dialogue called recitative moves the story forward. Storylines in Singspiel are often comedic, as in The Abduction from the Seraglio, or romantic in nature. They also frequently involve magical, fantastical, or folkloric elements, such as mythical creatures or exaggerated depictions of good versus evil.
