Live at Timucua / Opera Festival: Timucua is known as the world's best living room concert hall. With the help of our ACS system, we tranform it into a world class European opera house.
Musical Traditions Inc. is the brainchild of Aleksandra Vargas, Sergei Kossenko and others. They aim to bring vocal musical performances of high quality to Central Florida.
Here they perform a chamber version of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's one act opera: Mozart and Salieri.
Few relationships in history have captured the public's imagination like that of composers Mozart and Salieri. Mozart, a child prodigy who’s natural gifts propelled him to the height of fame, and Salieri, a self made man overshadowed by his portent colleague. Letters between the two men reveal a cordial professional relationship of mutual respect. However, the two men were rivals, and the controversy surrounding Mozart's death, fueled rumors of a more sinister dynamic. This one-act opera explores one theory of this infamous association that led to a tragic end for both men. It is sung in the English translation of the Russian libretto taken almost verbatim from Alexander Pushkin’s 1830 verse drama of the same name. This opera is a thought provoking drama that will leave the audience wondering “what if….”.
