ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

Quite a lot is going on on the Greek island of Naxos. Ariadne mourns her unfaithful lover Theseus and Bacchus wants so much to comfort her. Venus is the wedding planner and needs to bring the right couples together. In 1726 Johann Joseph Fux composed a splendid “Festa Teatrale” about all this hustle and bustle: “La corona d’Arianna”. Alfredo Bernardini and his Zefiro musicians continue their Fux series in Graz. The ensemble of solo voices is magnificent, the staging by Adrian Schvarzstein clever and the Arnold Schoenberg Choir intoxicating.
