Introducing Monteverdi 450

RPS MUSIC AWARD WINNER (Opera and Music Theatre)

The Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists commenced an international tour of the Monteverdi Trilogy on 10 April, taking audiences by storm at La Fenice in Venice and at European festivals from Edinburgh to Salzburg and Lucerne. For this momentous tour, Gardiner assembled an exemplary cast of world-class singers for ‘staged-concert’ performances of L’Orfeo, Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria and L’incoronazione di Poppea. It also presented the first opportunity for Gardiner to conduct Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria which was subsequently recorded live by the SDG label during September performances in Wroclaw, Poland.

Accademia Monteverdiana
In preparation for our ambitious international tour for Monteverdi’s 450th anniversary, we conducted a series of workshops under the auspices of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venice the Accademia Monteverdiana. During the week Sir John Eliot Gardiner and the soloists selected for the Monteverdi 450 project explored Monteverdi’s aesthetic and compositional practice through the study of his Madrigals, alongside key scenes from the surviving operas. They were joined by a group of distinguished musicologists, with the workshops providing a platform for scholarly discussion on historically informed performance practice and its relevance for today’s audiences. The week of study and exploration culminated in a final showcase concert held in the beautiful Sala degli Arazzi (Hall of Tapestries) of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini.
