About

Drawing inspiration from the biblical Book of Judith, Betulia liberata is an oratorio composed by Mozart in his adolescence for the town of Padua during his very first trip to Italy. But this work’s fate is shrouded in mystery: even though it was commissioned by the Prince of Aragon for the Lenten season, there is no record that it was ever performed. On the other hand, historical records indicate a premiere in Padua of a work with the same exact name in 1771 (the same year!), by composer Giuseppe Calegari. The most likely scenario is that the work was replaced because it was delivered too late, or simply cancelled altogether.
