Known as a creator of astonishing images, stage director and visual artist Robert Wilson delivers a magnificent production of Mozart’s adaption of Handel’s Messias. Mozart was commissioned by Gottfried van Swieten to modernise the score fifty years after Handel’s popular composition (1742), mainly by arranging the wind parts and partially re-composing them. With Marc Minkowski a conductor has been engaged who understands perfectly how to combine baroque style with the tonal possibilities of an orchestra of the classical period like the Musiciens du Louvre. The excellent soloist quartet with Elena Tsallagova, Wiebke Lehmkuhl, Richard Croft and José Coca Loza merges perfectly into Wilson’s enormous flood of images. “A complete artwork”, praises Opernglas. “stunningly beautiful” (BR Klassik); “A magic moment for the music” (orf.at)
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!
