The Bronx opera is celebrating 51 years in business with a Mozart performance.

"The Abduction from the Seraglio" is a two-and-a-half-hour show by the famed composer.

It's a story about people kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery.

It details their journey to freedom.

Bronx Opera Company Artistic Director Michael Spierman says sharing his love of opera with younger generations is priceless
