Haus für Mozart

Known as the creator of amazing images, director and visual artist Robert Wilson delivers a magnificent staging of Mozart's adaptation of Handel's Messiah. Mozart was commissioned by Gottfried van Swieten to modernize the score fifty years after Handel's popular composition (1742), mainly by arranging the wind parts and partially recomposing them.
With Marc Minkowski, a conductor has been won who knows perfectly how to combine the baroque style with the tonal possibilities of an orchestra from the classical period such as the Musiciens du Louvre. The excellent solo quartet with Elena Tsallagova, Wiebke Lehmkuhl, Richard Croft and José Coca Loza fits perfectly into Wilson's enormous flood of images. "A total work of art," praises Opernglas.
