Mozart’s charming opera tells the story of a Countess who disguises herself as a gardener in order to find and forgive her lover, who thinks he has killed her in a quarrel. The score is one of real musical delights with uncommonly rich and full orchestration and prominent parts for wind in particular. Lothar Zagrosek conducts this very aesthetic production from the Staatsoper Stuttgart in which the Countess is played by Alexandra Reinprecht.
