  Set in Classical antiquity Mozart's Il re pastore tells of the thwarted love of Aminta (the innocent 'shepherd king' of the title) for the well-born Elisa and that of the nobleman Agenore for the deposed tyrant's daughter Tamiri. No less a figure than Alexander the Great resolves these conflicts of private passion and public status. First performed in Salzburg in 1775 Sir Neville Marriner conducts a top international cast including Sylvia McNair Jerry Hadley and Iris Vermillion in this 1989 staging from Salzburg's Landestheater.
