Soprano

Über „Gefühle in der Musik“ weiß die Sopranistin aus der Lombardei, Jahrgang 1992, nicht nur aus der Praxis genauestens Bescheid, sondern auch dank ihres gleichnamigen Forschungsschwerpunkts im Studium der Philosophie. An Italiens Häusern ist sie in vielfältigen Rollen zu hören – von Monteverdi und Rameau bis zu Mozart und Rossini.

Monica Piccinini

Her intimately flowing, gently glowing voice is one of the most beautiful you could imagine for the affect songs of Monteverdi, Pergolesi or Handel. No wonder that Monica Piccinini's lyric soprano is not only acclaimed at Italy's great houses and highly esteemed by stars such as Jordi Savall or Fabio Biondi.

The differentiation and plasticity with which Erwin Ortner's hand-picked ensemble of voices realises choral works from all epochs is unrivalled.

Erwin Ortner is also Hofkapellmeister in Vienna and was the rector of the Vienna University of Music for many years.

Zefiro Baroque Orchestra

Baroque Oorchestra

The top Italian ensemble is one of the Styriarte's closest friends - it is impossible to imagine our season-long project of rediscovering Fux's operatic jewels without it. Zefiro concentrates on the music of the 18th century and is considered a worldwide reference especially in the concert repertoire with solo wind instruments.

Alfredo Bernardini

His own ensemble Zefiro is also a celebrated public favourite at the Styriarte festival.

Fux.OPERNFEST Vol. 5

Quite a lot is going on on the Greek island of Naxos. Ariadne mourns her unfaithful lover Theseus and Bacchus wants so much to comfort her. Venus is the wedding planner and needs to bring the right couples together. In 1726 Johann Joseph Fux composed a splendid “Festa Teatrale” about all this hustle and bustle: “La corona d’Arianna”. Alfredo Bernardini and his Zefiro musicians continue their Fux series in Graz. The ensemble of solo voices is magnificent, the staging by Adrian Schvarzstein clever and the Arnold Schoenberg Choir intoxicating.  

What happens afterwards?

Our crazy Fux party continues no less fun: from Naxos in the palace courtyard we move to the Eggenberg park, where the group "Sirtaki Mamas" is waiting for us with Greek folklore to cheerfully seal the wedding festivities. Just like at a Greek wedding!

Bei uns kommen Sie mit Sicherheit ins Konzert :)
