The Goose of Cairo, an opera started by Mozart in July but abandoned in October 1783, was completed by Stephen Oliver in 1990. With exceptional skill and wit, Oliver expanded the existing libretto and wove his own modern composition style into Mozart’s original music to present a complete 90 minute work. This concert production as part of the LMP’s Mozart Explored: 1783 series tells the story of a Spanish Marquis, an avid collector of rarities, who keeps his only daughter locked up in a tower, and the attempts by her true love to stop her being given away to the man who can offer her father the fabled golden goose of Cleopatra… of course.
