This man's first opera was a parody of Jean-Jacque
This man's first opera was a parody of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Le decin du village, or The Village Soothsayer, in the form of a German singspiel. In addition to Bastien and Bastienne, he used the Italian opera seria form for a work which sees the titular king of Crete refuse to sacrifice his son to Neptune, while another work features the aria "Martern aller Arten," sung by Constanze, who has been kidnapped by Pasha Selim. This composer's other operas see a statue dragging the title character to hell, as well as the Queen of the Night aria. Name this Austrian composer ofIdomeneo, The Abduction from the Seraglio, Don Giovanni, and The Magic Flute.
