Oeuvre: Saul

Au Festival de Froville, la soprano belge rend hommage à Haendel et à la Francesina, au fil d'un concert aussi passionnant historiquement qu'émouvant dans l'interprétation.

Returning from the original run, Christopher Purves and Iestyn Davies were joined by a strong cast and chorus for a revival of Barrie Kosky's striking production.

“How Excellent.”  The first words sung in Handel’s Saul are in praise of God and were first uttered in a performance nearly three centuries ago. But they apply equally to Claus Guth’s interpretation of the work staged by Theater an der Wien.
