Audiences in the capital will be treated to a captivating performance of Mozart’s Bei Momenti (Beautiful Moment) by the renowned French orchestra, Les Musiciens du Louvre, on August 23 and 24 at the Ho Guom Opera.
Conducted by the talented Étienne Lemieux-Després, and featuring the exceptional soprano Sofia Savenko, the orchestra will take audiences on a journey through Mozart’s immortal musical genius. The program includes the serene and beloved Serenade in G major: Eine kleine Nachtmusik, K. 525, composed by Mozart in Vienna in 1787 concurrently with his opera Don Giovanni.
The German title, Eine kleine Nachtmusik, translates to “a short evening song,” and Mozart intended it to be performed by a small chamber ensemble. However, in modern interpretations, each part is often played by a larger group of instruments, creating a fuller sound.

The concert will also feature highlights from Mozart’s iconic operas, including Don Giovanni, The Magic Flute, and The Marriage of Figaro. Patrons will be guided through the context of the arias with illustrative descriptions and subtitles, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of the performance.
This promises to be more than just a musical performance; it will be a sensory experience that stimulates and captivates, leaving a lasting impression on all who attend. Mozart’s music has a way of transcending time and space, and this concert will be a testament to his enduring legacy.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a luminary of classical music, composed 628 works across various forms and genres during his short but prolific life. His influence on classical music is immeasurable, and his masterpieces, including The Magic Flute, Don Giovanni, and The Wedding of Figaro, continue to enchant audiences worldwide.
Les Musiciens du Louvre, founded in Paris in 1982 by conductor Marc Minkowski, has built an esteemed reputation for their interpretations of Baroque, Classical, and Romantic repertoire on period instruments.
Sofia Savenko, a German-Russian soprano, adds to the evening’s allure with her graceful presence. A graduate of the Hochschule für Musik Nürnberg in 2023, she has already performed leading roles in numerous famous operas, including Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro, and The Magic Flute, among others.
