Donizetti Festival – Teatro Sociale, Bergamo (Italy) – December 4th 2020 – 8:30 PM
Cancelled due to covid19 crisis
To end the European tour of Mayr’s Amor Conjugale, David Stern will conduct a concert performance in Bergamo’s Teatro Sociale. This re-premiere in Italy will be an important tribute to Mayr, who was Bergamo’s local musician and Donizetti’s teacher.
David Stern returns to the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston for an evening with world class fortepianist Andreas Staier, and Mendelssohn rarely performed “Reformation Symphony”.
If Verdi had spent too many summers sipping rosé wine on the French riviera he might very well had composed Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette. Quintessentially gallic, this work weaves beautifully melodies into the infamous tale and evokes the melancholy aspects of the story more than the heroic.
