Il re pastore
Alexander der Grosse befreit Sidon von dem Tyrannen Strato. Statt die Herrschaft für sich zu verlangen, sucht er den legitimen Erben des Reichs und findet ihn in dem Hirten Aminta. Der allerdings besteht auf seinem Schäferdasein und seiner Liebe zu Elisa und lehnt Alexanders Angebot ab, denn der Thron würde bedeuten, beidem zu entsagen. Alexander verlangt ausserdem, dass Aminta die Tochter des gestürzten Tyrannen, Tamiri, zur Frau nimmt, die wiederum Agenore liebt. Am Widerstand der beiden Paare scheiternd, gibt Alexander schliesslich seinen Plan auf: Die Liebenden bleiben zusammen, und Aminta und Elisa besteigen den Thron. Mozarts im Alter von 14 Jahren komponierte Serenata lässt den späteren Opernmeister voraus­ahnen. Das anlässlich eines Salzburg-Besuches von Erzherzog Maximilian entstandene Werk basiert auf einem Libretto von Pietro Metastasio, das sich bei vielen Komponisten des 18. Jahrhunderts grosser Beliebtheit erfreute. Grischa Asagaroff verlegt seine Inszenierung in das stimmungsvolle Ambiente einer pittoresken barocken Brunnenanlage. In der Rolle Alexanders ist der aufstrebende Schweizer Tenor Mauro Peter zu erleben.

Il re pastore
Alexander the Great frees Sidon from the tyrant Strato. Instead of claiming rulership for himself, he looks for the legitimate heir of the kingdom and finds him in the shepherd Aminta. However, he insists on his pastoral existence and his love for Elisa and rejects Alexander's offer, because the throne would mean renouncing both. Alexander also demands that Aminta marry the fallen tyrant's daughter, Tamiri, who in turn loves Agenore. Failing due to the resistance of the two couples, Alexander finally gives up his plan: the lovers stay together and Aminta and Elisa ascend the throne. Mozart's serenata, composed at the age of 14, foreshadows the future opera master. The work, written on the occasion of Archduke Maximilian's visit to Salzburg, is based on a libretto by Pietro Metastasio, which was very popular with many composers of the 18th century. Grischa Asagaroff moves his staging to the atmospheric ambience of a picturesque baroque fountain. The up-and-coming Swiss tenor Mauro Peter can be seen in the role of Alexander.
