Insel der Erinnerung

Dizzying infatuation, agonizing hope, shattered disbelief, trembling grief, unbridled rage: in hardly any other love story are the anxiety of waiting and the subsequent bitter disappointment as palpable as in this Greek mythological tale. Joseph Haydn's masterpiece >Arianna a Naxos< is the glittering highlight of the concert program, which is preceded by a collection of Baroque gems.
The unsurpassed ensemble Il Giardino Armonico, conducted by Giovanni Antonini, returns to Melk to ensure another unforgettable evening. We can also look forward to mezzo-soprano Patricia Nolz - a rising star in the Austrian music scene making her Internationale Barocktage Stift Melk debut.
