Description:
Il Giardino Armonico, soprano Julia Lezhneva and Giovanni Antonini appear at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg for a programme devoted to the theatrical and expressive world of Antonio Vivaldi and Joseph Haydn. The concert, presented as part of Elbphilharmonie Summer, brings together Vivaldi’s instrumental writing and opera arias with Haydn’s dramatic cantata Arianna a Naxos.
The first part of the programme explores Vivaldi’s eighteenth-century operatic world, including arias from Griselda, Bajazet, Ottone in villa, Giustino and L’Olimpiade, alongside the Concerto for Strings in E minor RV 134 and the Concerto in B minor RV 580 from L’estro armonico. After the interval, the programme continues with Vivaldi’s Concerto in E-flat major RV 253 “La Tempesta di Mare” and concludes with Haydn’s Arianna a Naxos, a solo cantata that gives Julia Lezhneva the opportunity to unfold the full dramatic range of Ariadne’s abandonment.
Doors open:
