Mit einer grandiosen Vorstellung von Händels Ariodante melden sich die Salzburger Pfingstfestspiele in diesem Jahr einmal mehr zurück und feiern einen beispiellosen Erfolg. Sowohl musikalisch als auch szenisch verspricht die Neuproduktion im Haus für Mozart einen überaus überzeugenden Abend.

When I was young, I often wondered what it would be like if an angel came down to earth. I mused that, if such an angel came, she would be a pretty, middle-aged lady with a slender figure, blonde hair, and, most importantly, a gorgeous, ethereal voice. Yesterday at the Music Institute of Chicago, I almost believed that such an angel had indeed come down from heaven when internationally-acclaimed soprano Lucy Crowe – the shining star of the Lyric Opera of Chicago’s production of Handel’s Hercules – joined Baroque Band for an enchanting, memorable evening of historically-informed Baroque performance. Guest directed by English Consort Director Harry Bicket, who masterfully led the Lyric orchestra in Hercules, this concert proved the ultimate encore for both Bicket and Crowe following their operatic triumph at the Lyric.
