About
"Full of fire, spirit, and life" is how Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart described Josef Mysliveček's oratorio Adam and Eve. Such high praise was rare from the notoriously critical Mozart, making this an exceptional compliment. He recognized the oratorio's exceptional quality, praising Mysliveček's melodic creativity and the clarity and elegance of his musical expression. The piece was first performed in Florence in 1771. Czech audiences have not yet had the chance to experience the oratorio live, but the DFXŠ opera company recently brought the work to the stage for the first time in Czechia.
