FestspielOrchester Göttingen FestspielOrchester Göttingen 86 87 7. Festspieltag · Festival Day 7 · 22.5. At home on all the great European opera stages, Ann Hallenberg has been delighting audiences for years with a vocal artistry matured to the highest level and a disarmingly likeable presence on stage. In 2017, she was awarded the Royal Medal “Litteris et Artibus” in her native Sweden, the country’s highest artistic honour. Ann Hallenberg knows her Handel like no other. She has released several Handel recordings, for which she has received numerous awards. In 2015 she was already a guest artist at the Göttingen Handel Festival, with a focus on the figure of the ruler Agrippina, in collaboration with the author Donna Leon. With her powerful and extremely agile mezzo-soprano, Ann Hallenberg embodies not only strong, devoted, but also at times cruel Baroque heroines and rulers. The often breakneck virtuosity of the former castrato repertoire is also well suited to her voice. The Gala Concert with Ann Hallenberg reflects the diversity of the period and brings to life the palette of Baroque emotion – from heart-rending lament to flaming vengeance; from paralyzing despair to triumphant, all-encompassing joy. At the heart of the evening are Handel’s most intense, dramatic and moving arias. His music allows us to share the fates of his operatic heroes. And it allows us, some 300 years later, to empathize with them. Flexibility is the trump card as Ann Hallenberg breathes life into Handel’s characters, sometimes with velvety cantilenas, sometimes with drama- tic, never-ending coloratura. The FestspielOrchester Göttingen, under the baton of George Petrou, is her congenial companion, enchanting the audience as it transports them to Italy with the concertos of Antonio Vivaldi, demonstrating the excitement, emotion and emotional power of the instrumental music of the period. 22.5. 19.30 Uhr · 7.30 pm Stadthalle Göttingen Konzert · Concert Dauer · Duration: ~ 2 h 52–104 €, red. 37–73 € Werke von Georg Friedrich Händel und Antonio Vivaldi Ann Hallenberg Mezzosopran Mezzo-soprano FestspielOrchester Göttingen George Petrou Musikalische Leitung Conductor
