Die Entführung Aus Dem Serail / Der Schauspieldirektor

Die Entführung aus dem Serail and Der Schauspieldirektor are two operatic works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1782 and 1786 respectively. Both are in the singspiel tradition, blending spoken dialogue with Classical-era orchestral writing and vocal ensembles, and they occupy distinct places in Mozart's career as examples of his dramatic writing and his engagement with German-language theatre.
