He pulls apart the movements of Mozart’s festive ‘Posthorn’ Serenade – which wittily incorporates the distinctive sounds of the mail-coach trumpet – and intersperses them with vibrant arias from some of the composer’s most adored operas, sung by acclaimed Irish mezzo soprano Tara Erraught. From strong emotions to effervescent fun, experience all the musical mastery of Mozart.
