The unique Mozart experience in Salzburg. A concert with Mozart´s most beautiful compositions - when art meets culinary delights.
By visiting this performance you will be taken back to Mozart’s time.
Enjoy an evening likely to have taken place in 1790 - in the Baroque Hall lit by candles, having a dinner based on historical recipes, listening to a concert with musicians in authentic costumes and the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The musical program of the Mozart Dinner Concert is performed in three parts before and in between the courses of the dinner. Each part is dedicated to a famous Mozart opera: Enjoy arias and duetts from "The Magic Flute", "Don Giovanni" and "The Marriage of Figaro" as well as the very famous first movement of "A Little Night Music".
Experience a lively and first-class performance by the Amadeus Consort Salzburg, consisting of two opera-singers and an exquisite chamber ensemble, all dressed in authentic Rokoko costumes.
Why should Mozart just sound "historical"?
The AMADEUS CONSORT SALZBURG now overrides this abyss. The group plays on original instruments and in appropriate period clothing. What has been a "no go" for almost decades is now a sign for a new, fresh and free interaction with the audience and Mozart's music. The audience becomes participants because the musicians and actors display intelligent and wise interpretation of our spirited and vivid "opera-like" performances. Our musicians have profound knowledge about historical instruments and their treatment. This is what makes the concerts of the AMADEUS CONSORT SALZBURG so special and remarkable! The members of the ACS graduated from the University Mozarteum Salzburg. The ensemble has performed concerts all over the world and was part of TV productions for more than 50 broadcasting stations. Their CD has been sold more than 40.000 times and can be purchased at the venue.
The original Mozart Dinner - based on historical recipes.
In his letters and operas, Mozart makes numerous references to meals and drinks, which gives us a good reason to combine his divine music with culinary delights. Surely, Mozart wouldn't oppose. Our unique Mozart Dinner is inspired from historical recipes. Each course of the dinner is served in the concert intermissions at the same venue as the concert.
♦ Bread with homemade butter
♦ Clear lemon chicken soup with a curd cheese and rosemary dumpling
♦ Supreme of roasted capon* on glaze of red wine and herbs with creamy white polenta and vegetables from Padre Prior's garden
♦ Semi-frozen parfait of wild honey with two fruit sauces
*Back in Mozart’s time capon referred to a castrated rooster. Today we serve you the best meat from Austrian corn-fed chicken,
as it is very similar in quality and taste to the baroque original.
