Constantin Zimmermann
A moving expressiveness from the baroque to the modern has already made the young Swiss a celebrated rising star in his field, even before he graduates from the Mozarteum in Salzburg in the summer of 2024. In 2025, the countertenor will make his debut at the Handel Festival Halle with 'Clori, Tirsi e Fileno' and at our Easter Festival PSALM with Pergolesi's 'Stabat mater'.
