		Mozart's opera The Abduction from the Seraglio received its premiere in Vienna on July 12, 1782.
		The Overture to The Abduction is a lively piece, which begins with a C-major Presto full of sounds the Viennese associated with Turkish music: piccolo flutes, triangle, cymbals, and bass drums.
		The middle section of the overture resembles the melody of the opera's first aria, though here it is in the minor mode and when sung it is in the major.

		Jeanne L. Schroeder, Abduction from the Seraglio: Feminist Methodologies and the Logic of Imagination, 70 TEXAS L. Abstract:
		The author argues that much feminist jurisprudential writing to date might be seen as an attempt to escape one masculinist set of theories by utilizing another form masculinist jurisprudence and seeks to introduce a different voice for feminism.
		The author notes that two general categories of errors have arisen in examining legal scholarship: first is the general tendency to identify certain legal theories as inherently and irreconcilably feminine or masculine, and second is the tendency for feminists to ignore the writing of male philosophers who have struggled with many of the same issues.

		Mozart's superb comedy The Abduction from the Seraglio is one of the oldest German operas in the standard repertoire, remarkable for its exquisite, challenging music and for its ingenious characterizations.
		Act I of Abduction takes us to the Turkish palace of Pasha Selim ("Pasha" was a title of rank in the Ottoman Empire), where Belmont has come looking for his shipwrecked fiancée Constanze, who is among those being held captive there.
		We'll examine the brilliant musical characterizations of the earnest Belmont, his timid but clever servant Pedrillo, the high-minded Constanze, her saucy English maid Blonde, and the menacing but buffoonish palace guard Osmin.

		Mozart's first operatic hit Die Enfuhrung aus dem Serial ("The abduction from the seraglio") was a singspiel, a forerunner of the musical comedy with spoken dialogue between the musical numbers.
		The aristocratic Konstanze, who has been abducted and imprisoned under him, and her intended Belmonte are in fashionable fl, while their two servants are the object of much merriment.
		His entry with his retinue walking toward the audience on a raised platform holding stakes topped out with severed heads is a riveting piece of theatre.

		There is an excellent recording of Abduction from La Scala with Devia, Lippert, Moll from 1994, in which the interchange between Belmonte and Pedrillio is so charged with emotion and excitement and sexuality, and is so undeniably authentically German, that it pours life into every moment they are onstage.
		And there is no worse insult that I can give an Abduction performance than that: the Belmonte and Pedrillo rob the opera of its magic by being as inauthentic and improperly typecast as possible.
		In his times, the Seraglio and its location was deemed to be highly intriguing and a topic of great interest for Austrians.

	The Abduction from the Seraglio in Full Score (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Die Entfuehrung aus dem Serail --the Abduction from the Seraglio-- was one of Mozart's first operatic hits, and received performances all over Europe, even if the emperor did think it contained too many notes.
		Too many tenors is closer to the mark (the male roles include two tenors, one bass, and one character who only speaks), but this singspiel is a bright and bubbly work, endearing in its comic scenes and impressive in its serious moments.
		Exactingly reproduced from the authoritative Breitkopf and Härtel edition, this superb full-score edition offers music lovers a rare opportunity to study and follow performances of this great comic opera, one of the most engaging and least pretentious masterpieces in the repertory.

	KDHX Theatre Review - The Abduction from the Seraglio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		A noble maiden (soprano) sold into the Pasha's harem, a romantic tenor to the rescue, a comic villain (basso) to be foiled, and the requisite sub-plot of romance between the servants makes Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio a merry romp indeed, with plenty of gorgeous music to satisfy the most ardent of opera goers.
		Such passages are as integral to the work as anything in the libretto; they have an emotional content-often even a plot content-and a director must use them to further the development of plot or character.
		So Opera Theatre's current production of Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio has some significant failings, but nevertheless it's full of fun and beautiful music, and is well worth your while.

		Mozart's "Abduction From the Seraglio," a tuneful comedy with some serious undertones, isn't generally considered a "problem" piece.
		Wadsworth, to his everlasting credit, has resisted any temptations to gloss the drama with reference to the contemporary struggle between Islam and the West (there are operas that resonate with that struggle, but "Abduction" isn't one).
