Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Il Canto di Orfeo

Cecilia Bartoli and Gianluca Capuano lead a superb performance of Orfeo ed Euridice, in semi-staged form, as a prologue to the Monteverdi Festival in Cremona. 

A pasticcio of superb musicianship is the main event at the Venice-themed Whitsun Festival.

Gianluca Capuano leads Les Musiciens du Prince and Il Canto d’Orfeo in a spectacular rendition of Monteverdi’s masterpiece at the Salzburg Whitsun Festival. 

Gianluca Capuano leads a great ensemble in a thoughtful, emotional reading of Mozart’s Mass in C minor. 

A great performance of a nearly-forgotten 18th-century oratorio in Salzburg celebrates the castrati’s “Heavenly Voices”, the theme of the Whitsun festival.
