"With the ever-responsive Concentus Musicus, [Harnoncourt] duly mines the comically disruptive potential of Haydn's music with unabashed glee... The comic leads are ideally cast...an inventive, thoroughly entertaining performance of a zany, sometimes touching comedy. If you're still sceptical about Haydn's operas, this may convert you." Gramophone Magazine, January 2010

First Haydn Il Mondo della Luna (which has blissful Mozartian spirit) available on DVD and Blu-ray!

Live recording from Theatre an der Wien, 2009.

Nikolaus Harnoncourt created an interpretation in which Haydn's work can become a veritable gem of opera literature.

Renowned actor and director Tobias Moretti relates the story as a light-footed, magical fairy tale infused with slapstick, witty details and fantasy costumes.
