Cavalli’s “Veremonda” at the Schwetzingen Festival

In their search for Baroque rarities, the Schwetzingen Festival has made a real find with Francesco Cavalli, whose opera Veremonda, L’Amazzone di Aragona, with its mastery of exoticism, has never previously been performed in Germany. Using the critical new edition by Wendy Heller (Opere di Franceso Cavalli) published by Bärenreiter, Concerto Köln performs, conducted by the Argentinian early music specialist Gabriel Garrido. Amélie Niermeyer directs in this co-production with the Staatstheater Mainz. The first performance in Schwetzingen is on 29 April, and the first in Mainz follows on 20 June 2016.

First performances using the Handel Edition in Göttingen and Halle

(30.4.2015) This year not one, but two opera volumes from the Halle Handel Edition will be put to the test at both the Handel Festivals in Germany. The Göttingen Festival opens on 15 May 2015 with a new production of Agrippina directed by Laurence Dale and conducted by Laurence Cummings. John E. Sawyer is responsible for the long-awaited new edition. The performance material contains the Venetian version from the 1709 premiere, as well as additional alternative music numbers or numbers not used then. The Halle Festival follows on 5 June 2015 with a new production of the seldom-performed opera Lucio Cornelio Silla of 1713, which Terence Best has edited for the HHA. The Handel Festival Orchestra is conducted by Enrico Onofri, and the director is Stephen Lawless. Two days later, on 7 June 2015, Fabio Biondi conducts his Ensemble “Europa Galante” in a concert performance of Handel’s last stage work Imeneo, with a top-class line-up of soloists. The Dublin version of 1742 will be performed, which Donald Burrows reconstructed in 2002 for the relevant HHA volume.
