Prom 7: Continents intersect at the Gospel Prom

David Karlin, 16th July

Have you ever been, dear reader, to one of those giant churches in the American South – the type that seats ten thousand and where every service is a major musical extravaganza? Well, no, I haven’t either, as it happens, although I used to make sound equipment for them.

The Rest is Noise: America – but not as we know it

Himmel und Erde: Nederlandse Bachvereniging mit der h-Moll-Messe

Zwischen Rache und Vergebung: Zaide bei den Salzburger Festspielen

Michael Vieth, 19th August

Ein Beispiel für gehaltvolle, moderne Inszenierungsarbeit: Mozarts Zaide-Fragment und ein fast vergessenes Gelegenheits-Oratorium bauen Raphaël Pichon und Mitstreiter zu einem packenden Opernabend zusammen.

Gefangene im mechanischen Räderwerk: Maria Stuarda in Salzburg

Thomas Schacher, 7th August

Regisseur Ulrich Rasche bringt eine radikal neue Sicht auf Donizettis Belcanto-Oper. Lisette Oropesa als Maria und Kate Lindsey als Elisabetta brillieren als königliche Todfeindinnen.
