Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Christina Pluhar

Was Hausherr und Regisseur Stefan Herheim aus Francesco Cavallis Oper herausholt, will man gesehen haben. Vera-Lotte Boecker ist gesanglich und wörtlich der Star des Abends.

Zur siebzigsten Mozartwoche in Salzburg verbanden Christina Pluhar und L'Arpeggiata beeindruckend finale, Todeserfahrung beschreibende Vokalwerke von Pergolesi und Mozart.

Marie-Eve Signeyrole versucht mit Live-Videos und einer Juxtaposition von Sex, Gewalt und Klimathemen Händels Oratorium in die Gegenwart zu hieven.

L'Arpeggiata faszinieren, amüsieren, rühren zu Tränen - und das alles in nicht einmal zwei Stunden.

In a co-production with MusikTheater an der Wien, the Staatsoper Unter den Linden presents Cavalli's La Calisto in a quirky, vibrant new vest tailored by conductor Christina Pluhar and director Stefan Herheim.

Pour les quinze ans de leur collaboration, le contre-ténor et l'ensemble de Christina Pluhar explorent tout le potentiel émotionnel des mélodies baroques européennes autour d'un programme porté sur l'amour.

The superstar countertenor revisit the site of one of their early successes, with hits from Monteverdi and the court of Louis XIII. It makes for an extraordinary evening.

Le contre-ténor et ses complices ont livré un concert de haut vol, s'aventurant aussi bien dans des danses endiablées que dans des pages bouleversantes...

An outstanding performance from Christina Pluhar's army of generals, but a flawed Barbican live stream. 

A radiant chemistry between Céline Scheen and Philippe Jaroussky is evident in an evening of Caldara and Pergolesi in Bucharest. 

While maybe not for the musical puritans, this was the perfect showcase for an exceptional group of musicians to demonstrate their formidable technical and interpretative talents and to respectfully give some new vitality to the magical works of Purcell.

L’Arpeggiata brought the sensuous heat and vibrancy of Catalonia to London's Wigmore Hall in a concert featuring songs and music from the Aragon region of Spain.

A refreshing, unconventional reworking of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas by L'Arpeggiata in Utrecht. 

Christina Pluhar led ensemble L'Arpeggiata in a concert of delightful sacred music from the Habsburg court chapel in Vienna.

If you like your Purcell spiced up with some jazz improvisation and Middle-Eastern flavours, Philippe Jaroussky and L’Arpeggiata’s gig was for you. 

In a programme inspired by “tarantism”, the delirium caused by the bite of the tarantula spider, and the sensual rituals and hypnotic healing powers of the Tarantella, early-music and Baroque crossover group L’Arpeggiata transported the audience of Cadogan Hall to the seductive heat of southern Italy with a mesmerizing concert of music by Monteverdi, Strozzi, contemporary Italian composer Marcello

Though they play Baroque music, the ensemble L’Arpeggiata is more like a jazz band than a traditional orchestra. Anchored by a continuo (rhythm section?) led by artistic director and theorbist Christina Pluhar, they are joined by various other instrumentalists, singers, and even dancers, fitting each of their projects.
