🎭✨ Tonight: SOLD OUT — The Sopranos, featuring Dennis Orellana

Sopranist Dennis Orellana takes the stage tonight, joined by Federico Fiorio and Maayan Licht, proving with astonishing technical brilliance and powerful expression that this extraordinary art is far from a thing of the past.

Together they perform arias by Handel, Hasse, Porpora, Albinoni, Broschi and more, with the Wrocław Baroque Orchestra under Jarosław Thiel.

Names like Farinelli, Caffarelli, Senesino and Carestini still echo through history. Tonight, that legacy lives on through voices like his. 🕊️

🎭 "Alma mia sì sol tu sei..." at Bayreuth Baroque

The very first notes Floridante sings in Handel's opera, and already, everything is at stake. This Act I aria introduces us to a hero defined by love and loyalty, long before the war and political intrigue take hold.

Max Emanuel Cencic, in rehearsal, giving voice to Floridante for the very first time. This is where the story begins. 🕊️

✨ Marlene Metzger as Echo in Ariadne auf Naxos — praised by critics

Marlene Metzger shines as Echo in the Salzburger Festspiele | Salzburg Festival production of Richard Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos, appearing alongside Jasmin Delfs and Anja Mittermüller as the three Nymphs.

“Den stimmlich größten Zauber entwickeln die drei Nymphen Jasmin Delfs, Anja Mittermüller und Marlene Metzger […] Als Trio sind sie perfekt zusammen komponiert, reine, freie Schönheit.”
— SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG

“[…] so schwebte das Echo also im Raum auf und ab, hin und her, wie ein weißer Luftballon, schwerelos wunderschöne Töne absondernd.”
— SALZBURGER NACHRICHTEN

“Einen gesanglichen Höhepunkt bieten die drei Nymphen […] Marlene Metzger als Echo, passend zu den zahlreichen szenischen Flügen, für sehr zarte, luftige und doch fokussierte Töne sorgt.”
— OPERNMAGAZIN

“Le tre cantanti hanno trovato un equilibrio particolarmente felice, fondendo le voci in un impasto leggerissimo ed etereo, di grande precisione e omogeneità. […] Vocalmente impeccabili e perfettamente amalgamate, hanno costituito uno degli elementi più raffinati della seconda parte.”
— CLASSICAMENTE

✨ A performance celebrated for its ethereal beauty, vocal precision, and the extraordinary blend of the three Nymphs.

🎭 "Ah, mia cara, se tu resti..." at Bayreuth Baroque

In Act I of Floridante (Handel), as war and politics close in around them, Floridante and Elmira share a farewell that becomes one of Handel's most celebrated duets. Tender, aching, unforgettable.

Watching Max Emanuel Cencic and Sonja Runje bring it to life in rehearsal, costumes on, voices intertwining for the first time. It's easy to see why this duet has captivated audiences for 300 years.

This is Floridante. This is why we do what we do. 🕊️

✨ Blandine de Sansal as Clori — praised by critics

Following her appearance as Clori in Cavalli’s Il Nicandro e Fileno with La Palatine at the Festival de Beaune, Blandine de Sansal has been receiving enthusiastic praise for her vocal richness, dramatic intensity, and electrifying stage presence.

“...un timbre très fruité, un mordant certain, des vocalises précises, une expressivité de tous les instants et une présence scénique incandescente – son air de fureur est superbe d’engagement et sa grande page du troisième acte a attendrir les pierres.”
— Forumopera.com

“Blandine de Sansal, à la présence scénique électrisante, aux graves veloutés et un sens du drame du meilleur effet.”
— Classiquenews Classiquenews

“Blandine de Sansal impressionne par la richesse de son mezzo-soprano. Son timbre chaleureux épouse parfaitement les contradictions de Clori, tour à tour naïve, passionnée, jalouse puis profondément blessée. Sa scène de colère révèle une artiste capable d’une véritable intensité dramatique.”
— BAROQUENEWS

✨ A performance celebrated for its warmth, virtuosity, expressive power, and compelling portrayal of Clori.

Every character in Floridante has a story to tell and bringing that story to life begins long before the curtain rises.

Our costume designer Corina Gramosteanu together with her team is putting her heart, creativity, and craftsmanship into every detail of the production. These fitting sessions with Max Emanuel Cencic are just one part of the process of shaping the visual world of Floridante.

Corina has already created costumes for Bayreuth Baroque productions including Cavalli’s Pompe Magno and Handel’s Flavio. Now, she returns to create the costumes for Floridante.

From the first fitting to the final stage, every costume is carefully developed to serve the characters, the story, the artists, and Max Emanuel Cencic’s vision for the production.

🎭 Meet the people behind the magic of Floridante.
