A theme of this summer’s Mostly Mozart Festival is spirituality, explored by way of works from across the expanse of musical history. Having presented the most recent of its examples, Osvaldo Golijov’s “Pasión Según San Marcos” (2000), over the weekend, the festival offered the earliest, Monteverdi’s “Vespro Della Beata Vergine” (1610), at the Rose Theater on Monday evening.
