G. F. Händel: Mesiáš (2024)
A stage adaptation of the famous oratorio Messiah performed by the South Bohemian Theater, directed by Tomáš Ondřej Pilař and conducted by David Švec on the stage in front of the Revolving Auditorium in Český Krumlov... Director Tomáš Ondřej Pilař likens the oratorio Messiah to a large, luxurious box of chocolates containing the best of Baroque music. However, the path to the creation of this work was neither straightforward nor obvious. Georg Friedrich Händel was born in what is now Germany, in Halle an der Saale, on February 23, 1685. He was born into a Europe that adored opera, specifically Italian opera. What did Italian Baroque opera look like? At that time, it was a series of arias whose main purpose was to showcase the vocal abilities of the individual performers. To showcase how loud, how high, how fast they could sing, how they could change emotions during a single performance.
