September brings together a major festival, Baroque opera and three new album releases.
From 4 to 13 September, Bayreuth Baroque presents eleven days of opera and concerts. At the heart of this year’s festival is a new production of Handel’s «Floridante», directed by Max Emanuel Cencic at the Margravial Opera House.
On 18 September, Palazzetto Bru Zane releases «Zampa» on Bru Zane Label, a new CD-book dedicated to Ferdinand Hérold’s once immensely popular opéra-comique.
Two further recordings follow on 25 September. Freiburger Barockorchester and Kristian Bezuidenhout release the sixth volume of their Mozart piano concerto series on harmonia mundi. Concerto Copenhagen’s «Queen Christina», released on FugaLibera / Outhere, is the first album in the new series «Tides of Scandinavian Baroque» and explores the cosmopolitan musical world surrounding the Swedish queen.
September also marks the start of a new season for many of the ensembles and institutions we represent. Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège opens with Verdi’s «Macbeth» on 18 September, followed by Concerto Köln at the Festival Alte Musik Knechtsteden on 19 September and La Cetra Basel with «Ispirazione barocca» on 24 September.
We look forward to a month full of festivals, opera, new recordings and the beginning of an inspiring new season.
