Jacobs has found in the excellent musicians of this orchestra the perfect laboratory to explore his conception of Mozart.

Under the baton of René Jacobs, B’rock Orchestra gave an inspired performance  that ought to contribute in giving Il ritorno d’Ulisse in Patria the place it deserves in the standard repertoire.

Amor vien dal destino, by the celebrated multi-talented Italian Agostino Steffani, receives its first staging in 300 years in Berlin's Schiller Theater under the direction of René Jacobs.

An opera that pokes fun at opera seria? An opera that features backstage preparations for a show, followed by an opera within an opera? No, it’s not Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos. 

One thing is for sure: whether you like Baroque opera or not, you will never be bored by an opera conducted by René Jacobs. By shaking up convention with his subtle readings, sometimes even rewriting the composer’s score, the Belgian conductor is the one of those rare few who always find an elegant way to bring the repetitive mannerisms of the Baroque to life.

Die Musiker trugen die eingepflanzten Mozart-Produktions-Leuchtfeuer in halbszenischer Köstlichkeit in die Kölner Philharmonie.
