The “great Ferdinand”, Ferdinand II, to whom Monteverdi wanted to dedicate his Eighth Madrigal Book, now rests in the mausoleum in Graz. When the Emperor suddenly died in 1637, his son Ferdinand III inherited the dedication. The most beautiful numbers from Monteverdi’s madrigal legacy will be staged with young singers and a young ensemble, rehearsed especially for the styriarte, in the most beautiful arcade courtyard in Styria.
