“Why do I have to sing Mozart all the time?” the tenor in Bernard Lang’s Opera “I Hate Mozart” cries out in despair. With their provocatively named contribution to the Viennese Mozart Year 2006 Lang and librettist Michael Sturminger succeeded in creating a sharp witted parody of the opera business. Lang shamelessly avails himself of the latest DJ and sampling techniques employing loops of popular melodies. The result is music of exceptional brilliance.
