Arguing "prima donnas" can only be found today in the soap operas of private television companies that vie for the prize of the jungle queen. Older opera-goers, on the other hand, can still remember how the two prima donnas Maria Callas and Renata Tebaldi addressed so many nuances in the media in their heyday.
Probably the most famous rival prima donnas in music history are undoubtedly the feuding Handel stars Faustina Bordoni and Francesca Cuzzoni. You on June 6, 1727 at a performance of Bononcini's opera AstianatteA controversy carried out on the open stage, which - spurred on by the London audience - degenerated into savage insults and physical abuse, has gone down in the annals of opera history. In memory of these two great prima donnas of the first half of the 18th century, Simone Kermes and Vivicagenau, in all friendship with Baroque Rivalries, put together a wild baroque evening full of rarities and discoveries from the repertoire of the Bordoni and the Cuzzoni, in which, in addition to compositions by Georg Friedrich Händel and Johann Adolf Hasse, many arias and duets by composers who are almost forgotten today, such as Antonio Lotti, Giovanni Porta or Giuseppe Arena, can be brought to life again for the first time.
