Zaide [558023] Released: 2008-01-01 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 0 mins Popularity: 0.091 Vote Average: 0 Vote Count: 0 Overview: Zaide, the unfinished opera by Mozart, in a production directed by Peter Sellars which was the focus of controversy at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2008. Composed in 1780, two years before The Abduction from the Seraglio, Zaide contains melodies of incredible inventiveness. The opera lacks an overture, a finale and many spoken dialogues, yet the missing elements allowed Sellars to elaborate and transform the work into a grand manifesto against slavery. Sellars' vision provoked a scandal, as it had previously in Vienna and London, but the Cour de l'ArchevĂȘchĂ© has experienced plenty of scandals.
