Anna Prohaska & Christophe Rousset: Opera in Hamburg

Bayreuth Baroque

120 Min

Soprano Anna Prohaska joins period-instrument experts Les Talens Lyriques and Christophe Rousset for a varied programme exploring the important position of Hamburg in the world of Baroque opera. The city’s Oper am Gänsemarkt was a crucible of invention and innovation under the directorship of composer Rheinhard Keiser and the site of early Handel premieres and Telemann’s greatest successes, and this concert – streaming live from the jewel-like Markgräfliches Opernhaus in Bayreuth –promises to capture that sense of excitement and creativity in performances of brilliant style and verve.
