Production with the 2006 Mozart Opernensemble in Salzburg, Austria. I am playing the title role. Zaide was never finished and therefore, does not often get performed. I, for one, felt lucky to put on one of Mozart's rare operas!

"Trostlos schluchzet Philomele"

Zaide and Gomatz face their deaths and say goodbye to each other....(shortly afterward they discover they are brother and sister...classic incestual opera!)
