Grazer Farinelli

Auch Graz hatte seinen „Farinelli“: Der Kastrat „Pignattino“ war als junger Sänger an den Hof des Fürsten Eggenberg gekommen und legte im Planetensaal unter den Fittichen des Eggenbergischen Hofkapellmeisters Pietro Romolo Pignatta den Grundstein zu seiner Karriere. In den Opern von Alessandro Scarlatti brillierte er später von Neapel bis Venedig. Lorenz Duftschmid präsentiert die Lebensgeschichte des berühmten Kastraten aus Eggenberg im Planetensaal – dort, wo alles begann. Valer Sabadus singt die schönsten Scarlatti-Arien für Pignattino – galante Liebeslieder, schwungvolle Menuette, tieftraurige Lamenti. 

Concert in the Planetensaal followed by a picnic with music in the palace park (only in good weather)
