Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Salzburg Whitsun Festival

In Barrie Koskys hyperaktiver Inszenierung wird Il viaggio a Reims zu einer Geburtstagsfeier zu Ehren Cecilia Bartolis – komplett mit überarbeitetem Text, extravaganten Kostümen, sexuellen Eskapaden und einer riesigen Torte.

This year’s Salzburg Whitsun Festival gala, Ciao, bella ciao, features Cecilia Bartoli in a highly personalised musical programme structured as an autobiographical journey, unfolding as a blend of concert and self-portrait. 

An exciting gala concert led by Cecilia Bartoli closed the Whitsun Festival in Salzburg, under the expert baton of Gianluca Capuano.

A pasticcio of superb musicianship is the main event at the Venice-themed Whitsun Festival.

Gianluca Capuano leads Les Musiciens du Prince and Il Canto d’Orfeo in a spectacular rendition of Monteverdi’s masterpiece at the Salzburg Whitsun Festival. 

Gianluca Capuano leads a great ensemble in a thoughtful, emotional reading of Mozart’s Mass in C minor. 

Cecilia Bartoli leads a stellar cast in a silly, but fun divertissement where Mozart’s music shines supreme.

A great performance of a nearly-forgotten 18th-century oratorio in Salzburg celebrates the castrati’s “Heavenly Voices”, the theme of the Whitsun festival.
