Mozart premiered The Abduction from the Seraglio while a craze for all things Turkish, especially Turkish-style music, swept Western Europe. Constanze, a noble Spanish lady, her English servant Blondchen, and Pedrillo, the servant of Constanze’s fiancé Belmonte, have been abducted by Moorish pirates and handed over to the Pasha Selim, who imprisons them in his seraglio. Selim soon falls in love with Constanze, while Osmin, their coarse, cruel jailer, attempts to woo Blondchen. Building to a tense climax, this is a story of love and danger.
