First performed in 1733 and lost until its rediscovery in 2002, Montezuma is Vivaldi’s opera based on the story of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec empire. After having been stolen by the Red Army after WWII and being taken to Kiev, Montezuma’s fragmented score was re-discovered during restitution back to Germany’s Sing-Akademie zu Berlin. For its Texan premiere, Mercury Baroque presents a concert version of Vivaldi’s long-lost masterpiece.
