OPERA - is unique
On Wednesday I was in Vienna to see "Ariodante" from Georg Friedrich Hndel at the "Theater an der Wien".
I was already very excited to finally see one of my most beloved mezzo-soprana singers - Vivica Genaux - but this evening of about 4 1/4 hours was pure musical delight, mindblowing and in some parts even drove me to tears of joy running down my cheek. To get you a small impression how the Opera was - to experience it is not really possible via a Video - but you get a glimpse to one of the best musical events Ive EVER seen in my WHOLE life so far:
Parts from the Rehearsals of Ariodante at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna:
Vivica Genaux sings Polinesso's aria "Se l'inganno sortisce felice" in act II of Ariodante, opera from handel.
Les Talens Lyriques, Christophe Rousset.
Paris, Thtre des Champs Elyses, March 2007.
