Salzburg: Hotel Metamorphosis

The transformations of mythical figures become wondrous events that happen to present-day people. Vivaldi’s orchestral music, frequently foregrounding individual instruments, offers a colourful spectrum through which to transform Ovid’s stories into dance and movement. Traversing these different worlds as the narrator is the figure of Orpheus. With Varduhi Abrahamyan, Lea Desandre and Philippe Jaroussky, Cecilia Bartoli has assembled an outstanding vocal cast for this pasticcio.
