Dal sito del Monteverdi Choir:
2017 marks the 450th anniversary of Claudio Monteverdi's birth, known to his more discerning contemporaries as 'oracolo della musica'. From April to October 2017 an international cast of soloists together with members of the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists will perform the surviving trilogy of Monteverdi's great operas in concert performances directed by Sir John Eliot Gardiner. In these performances the orchestra, composed of Monteverdi's exotic and beautifully crafted period instruments, will take centre-stage and thus form a central part in the story-telling process. Their interaction with the singers will lead us into a world of love, loss, anger, hope and desolation.
Vedremo i cast, ma ad occhio si prospetta come uno degli eventi più interessanti del 2017. Vediamo se in 7 mesi di tournée riusciranno a fare almeno un tappa italiana...
Saluti,
Beck
