Performer: Meili Li

Erstmalig nach der Uraufführung 1995 wieder auf einer Bühne: Alfred Schnittkes faszinierende Faust-Oper in Meiningen.

In der Meininger Musikaliensammlung wiederentdeckt: am Staatstheater Meiningen wird das von Domenico Sarro vertonte erste Libretto von Pietro Metastasio zum umjubelten Premierenerfolg.

Venetian Baroque opera once had a raison d'être of spectacular and complex stagings, but Daisy Evans makes us see that other ways are possible.

Two strongly atmospheric pieces create and hold a dreamy, intensely imaginative note on which to finish Tête à Tête for 2015. 

Symphonie Altlantique, a period orchestra composed of young professional musicians based in The Hague, gave a very engaging performance of Handel’s Giulio Cesare at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. 

Had you been travelling, in the mid 18th century, around the crowned courts of middle Europe, there would have been little debate as to who was the most celebrated opera composer and ensemble: Johann Adolph Hasse and his company at the Saxon court of Dresden.
