Theatrical devotion in Mozart’s most personal mass

Opera in the church? Critics and clergy shuddered! But for Mozart, the ultimate goal was always good music sung by the best singers. In his Great Mass in C minor he gave his wife Constanze a leading role with the aria Et incarnatus est. Possibly a reference to the child she was carrying? After his heartfelt performance of the Requiem a few seasons ago, Philippe Herreweghe now comes to Bruges with Mozart's majestic Mass on his music stand.
