‘When Mozart Meets Da Ponte’: a contemporary take on Mozart’s classical operas

“When Mozart Meets Da Ponte” is a new show by Bel Canto Singers featuring 22 of Mozart’s much-loved songs bound together in an original, Cantonese story. Artistic director and tenor David Quah, who plays Da Ponte, spent six months re-arranging many of the songs into alternative music styles. The story is based on an imagined visit that Mozart paid librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte with his old friend Figaro. There, at Da Ponte’s house, are housekeeper Despina and her god-sister Susanna. Much silliness and belting out of arias ensues. The performance will be at the City Hall Concert Hall on June 21. (Photo: SCMP’s Thomas Yau)
