The total Mozart experience | Ghent Festival on the road to Vienna - episode 2
https://www.salzburg.info/de/veranstaltungen/highlights/mozartwocheVienna is of course synonymous with Mozart, which is why we are giving him centre stage in the upcoming edition of our Festival. Thanks to a unique collaboration with the Salzburg Mozartwoche, we are bringing you two once-in-a-lifetime performances. Not only are we bringing Mozart and his invaluable violin to Ghent, we’re also inviting the famous tenor Rolando Villazón. This truly is a unique event!
For the second video episode of our musical lightning excursion to Vienna, we immersed ourselves in the world of Mozart. We spoke to Mozartwoche Director Nora Pötter-Grabko: she talks about the total Mozart experience. If you would also like to see, hear, and feel Mozart, then watch the video and buy your tickets for Mozart's violin in Ghent or for Sparkling Salzburg!

The famous Salzburg Mozartwoche festival is going on tour, and visits our festival to perform two concerts. The Mozartwoche brings not only its festival director and internationally renowned tenor Rolando Villazón, but also Mozart’s very own violin! The violin is played in this concert by violinist Hugues Borsarello, accompanied by Paul Montag on the piano. The two musicians play various Mozart violin sonatas and share the stage with storyteller Rolando Villazón. In the programme, Villazón reveals his great passion for Mozart, both as a composer and as a person, as he reads from the extensive correspondence between Wolfgang Amadeus and his father Leopold. Mozart owed a great deal to his father, but the two had a very complex relationship. Mozart’s violin in Ghent is a must-see and must-hear!

Leleux is the inimitable soloist in Mozart’s beautiful oboe concerto. Under his direction, the orchestra also performs the delightful overture from Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) and the so-called Prague Symphony no. 38, one of Mozart’s loveliest. Mozart wrote both works during his stay in Vienna in 1786, followed shortly by a tremendous premiere in Prague.
