Content

the victory of light over darkness

“And God said, ‘Let there be light!’ And there was ... light!!” Ever since the most powerful C major chord in music history hit the Viennese audience at its premiere, Haydn’s Creation has told again and again the timeless story of the victory of light over darkness. The greatest oratorio of the Viennese Classical period is not a naïve illustration of the story of creation, but a testament to the Enlightenment. When it is handled as dramatically as Patrick Hahn performs it with the Festival Orchestra and the Camerata Styria, there can be no doubt about the message of Haydn’s music.

Soprano

Tetiana Miyus

The agile, flawlessly radiant soprano and the infectious enthusiasm of the Ukrainian have delighted Graz opera audiences since 2011 in major roles from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern eras. She has also repeatedly earned acclaim at the Styriarte in productions under Michael Hofstetter, Andrés Orozco Estrada and Andreas Stoehr.

Mario Lerchenberger

The role profile of the tenor, who was born in Villach in 1992, ranges from Claudio Monteverdi and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss. He has worked at the Graz Opera and has been a member of the ensemble at the Semperoper in Dresden since the 2024/25 season. Outside of opera, Mario Lerchenberger can be heard in oratorios and as a lieder singer. Another artistic mainstay is choral conducting.

Choir direction

Sebastian Meixner

The music teacher and computer scientist, whose main instrument is the piano, has a golden touch for leading groups of people in song. He proves this as co-founder of the youth choir nota bene as well as with his brand new ensemble, the Camerata Styria, which he formed from former members of the Landesjugendchor Cantanima.
