The Abduction from the Seraglio

L'enlevement au Serail (in English: "The Abduction from the Seraglio") is a Mozart opera in three acts based on the work of Gottlieb Stephanie, itself based on one of Christoph Friederich Bretzner's works. First performed at the Burgtheater, Vienna in July 1782, the opera describes the attempts of a nobleman, Belmonte, to kidnap his fiancé, Constance, held prisoner in the Selim, The Turk's Palace du Pacha.
