About

The transformations of mythical figures become wondrous events that happen to present-day people. Vivaldi’s orchestral music, frequently foregrounding individual instruments, offers a colourful spectrum through which to transform Ovid’s stories into dance and movement. Traversing these different worlds as the narrator is the figure of Orpheus. With Varduhi Abrahamyan, Lea Desandre and Philippe Jaroussky, Cecilia Bartoli has assembled an outstanding vocal cast for this pasticcio.

Special project

Salzburger Festspiele

Three times a year – at Easter, at Whitsun, and in summer – Salzburg is transformed: the Music arrives. It echoes through the cobblestone streets of the Old Town (Altstadt), in historic theatres, churches, and concert halls. It gathers the most renowned performers, directors, conductors, and critics. And, of course, the audience from all over the world. Because there is no other festival like it: the Salzburg Festival lures with bold, unique opera productions and stirs an irresistible desire to see it all! →
