Experience how human voices are virtuosically transformed into jubilant nightingales and raging storms, as the Royal Danish Opera stages a Baroque opera by Vivaldi for the very first time.
King Gualtiero of Thessaly has married a poor shepherdess named Griselda. The populace opposes the marriage, prompting the king to subject Griselda to a series of tests to prove her love.
Vivaldi is best known for his violin concerto Le quattro stagioni, yet he composed approximately 50 operas, with 21 still existing today. Many of these virtuosic operas have been rediscovered in recent times. Accompanying from the orchestra pit, the Baroque music ensemble Concerto Copenhagen, playing on period instruments and led by Lars Ulrik Mortensen, offers a fresh interpretation of this early musical treasure.
Griselda features impressive vocal music from the golden age of the Baroque, with several roles written for castrato singers, whose ethereal and equilibristic vocals once enraptured audiences, leaving them in delighted swoons.
Leading international voices fill the cast. Mezzo-soprano Noa Beinart, a member of the ensemble at the Wiener Staatsoper, portrays the beleaguered Griselda, and and the internationally sought-after Norwegian soprano Mari Eriksmoen sings the role of Costanza.
Griselda is performed in Italian with Danish supertitles.
The collaboration with Concerto Copenhagen has been facilitated through the generous support of the Augustinus Foundation.
Recommended for ages 12 and up.
