Drift by Various, Di. 02 Nov. 2004, Ab (2004/2004), Unter der Regie von Wouter Van Looy, Dirigat Jan Van Outryve, Vooruit, Gent, Belgien

Lamento d'Arianna , the only remnant of Monteverdi's opera about the king's daughter Ariadne, forms the starting point of Drift , together with other musical and literary material from the Baroque period . Ariadne is a king's daughter who betrays family and country to rescue her beloved from the labyrinth. Theseus promises her mountains of gold to leave her behind on the island of Naxos after a wonderful night of love. Even the gods are touched by her tears and Venus sends the god Bacchus to ease her pain. Like many others, Claudio Monteverdi was inspired by Ariadne's story, although only the famous Lamento d'Arianna remains of his opera . This lament is the starting point for Drift , together with other musical and literary material from the Baroque. As with the internationally renowned youth productions De Storm and Z one Orfeo , Drift . puts from a core group of young singers and instrumentalists, who are increasingly finding their way to the major opera and music theater houses. This biotope of young creative talent is once again present for a quirky piece of music theatre.
