The Abduction from the Seraglio (Die Entführung aus dem Serail)is an opera in three acts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

"Belmonte's lover Constanze is being held captive by Pasha Selim. If Belmonte is going to rescue Constanze he will have to get past the Pasha's steward Osmin first. This may not necessarily sound like the premise of a comedy but The Abduction from the Seraglio is one of Mozart's wittiest and most delightful creations."
