Mozart's early operas (9)

At three, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart began to play the piano. At five he composed his first piece, and by seven he was already dazzling audiences on a European tour. Quickly assimilating the musical styles of the day, the young prodigy created his first opera at the tender age of eleven and kept them coming year after year. His early contributions to the genres of sacred oratorio, Italian opera buffa and seria, German-language Singspiel, and more can be found in this collection of works all composed before Mozart's 20th birthday, covering a vast thematic terrain from mythology and Biblical stories to pastoral-inspired medieval tales.
