Thamos, König in Ägypten

The concert presents a rare performance of Mozart's incidental music for "Thamos, King in Egypt," a heroic drama originally composed in 1773. The work includes two choruses and five interludes, highlighting themes that resonated in the 18th century. This production, presented at La Seine Musicale in Paris, captures a significant moment in classical music history, as it revives lesser-known compositions from the Mozart catalog.

With a focus on period instruments, the Insula Orchestra delivers an authentic interpretation of Mozart's work, offering collectors and enthusiasts a chance to experience this music in a new light. Conducted by Laurence Equilbey, the ensemble experiments with concert formats to enhance the presentation of classical music.
