Conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt's special wish for the Haydn anniversary year and for his 80th birthday was a production of Joseph Haydn's Il Mondo della Luna of 1777. With this exuberant staging by Tobias Moretti from Vienna's Theater an der Wien, Harnoncourt's wish was spectacularly fulfilled. Contributing to the success of the production are a fine cast of physically and vocally agile singers and the rousing orchestral accompaniment of Harnoncourt's own ensemble, the Concentus Musicus Wien.
