Mozart 22: Entfuhrung Aus Dem Serail (2006)

Part of the epoch-making release of Mozart's complete operas on DVD, Stefan Herheim's imaginative production of the composer's best-known Singspiel offers a series of extraordinary self-contained dramas exploring the mutual attraction and dependence of the sexes. A counterpoint to Mozart's tuneful, "Turkish" score, what this "battle of the sexes" reveals is terrifying - but also highly amusing.
