The beautiful German model Konstanze (Lee Abrahmsen), along with her assistant Blonde (Hannah Dahlenburg) and boyfriend Pedrillo (Paul Biencourt), has been abducted during a Mediterranean cruise and then &#8220;rescued&#8221; by the international man of mystery Pasha Selim (Nick Pelomis) and kept captive at his luxury hideout. Konstanze\u2019s&#8217; dashing lover Belmonte&#8230;..James Belmonte (Christopher Lincoln Bogg)&#8230;..sets out to rescue her. In doing so, and after many entertaining adventures, he eventually thwarts Pasha Selim&#8217;s boorish chief of security Osmin (Eddie Muliaumaseali\u2019i). After a surprise revelation, all ends well.<\/p>\n<p>Not performed professionally in Melbourne for more than 20 years, Melbourne Opera has once again assembled an outstanding international cast to perform some of Mozart&#8217;s most beautiful, demanding and entertaining music.
