Der Schauspieldirektor (The Impresario) Comedy with Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Flute - Sheet Music
By Wolfgang Amadeus MozartDer Schauspieldirektor (The Impresario) was composed in the spring of 1786 to fulfill a commission from Joseph II for performance during a visit to Vienna by the Governor-General of the Netherlands. The visitors were meant to be entertained with a short German and an Italian musical comedy during a festival arranged on short notice in Schönbrunn Palace. The choice of composers fell to Mozart and Salieri. Both pieces spoofed the theatrical practices of the day. "Der Schauspieldirektor", by Gottlieb Stephanie the Younger, has a loosely-constructed plot that hinges on the vanity of opera singers and the empty-headedness of many traveling companies. / Thanks to an arrangement for chamber orchestra by U. Stäuble (Carus 57.007/00), it is now possible to perform the work in smaller settings.
