Jörg Halubek / Recenze

Jörg Halubek leads his orchestra Il Gusto barocco from the ditch , which is very original with zinc, recorder, lute, viole da gamba, lirone, harpsichord and organ and creates a great, exciting Monteverdi sound. The choir also appears in costumes on the stage and on the front side balconies and is perfectly integrated into the action, also vocally. Soprano 1 and Ninfa / Nymphe is Amelia Scicolone , new to the ensemble, with a beautiful, delicate voice, very predestined for the madrigals. As a nymph, she lies in a bathtub with feet, or in a dream flower dress, as if born from foam. Soprano 2 and Clorinda are Seunghee Kho with a striking contrast soprano. The mezzo-soprano is Marie-Belle Sandis and also gives a furious Arianna, who keeps ironing her wedding dress on the ramp because Teseo has left her, but in vain. She still has to wait until the redemption by the demigod Bacchus and thus on Strauss / Hofmannsthal. Matthias Lucht sings the alto with a pleasantly timed counter. Tenor 1 and Tancredi is the reliable Raphael Wittmer , tenor 2 Thomas Volle , partly in a funny disguise / bathrobe and with a refrigerator. As usual, baritone and testo are sonorous and full-bodied by Thomas Berau . Andrei Nicoara contributes the bass, as an individual, but giving it all the more solid foundation .
