October 17th 2019 – Beijing Music Festival / Forbidden City Concert hall
David Stern returns to the Beijing Music Festival, this time bringing his opera company Opera Fuoco with its outstanding young soloists and period instrument orchestra. Händel is at his comic and melodramatic best in this work with its opening aria, “Ombra mai fu” which has delighted audiences for centuries.
William Boyce, a contemporary of Handel, wrote his Seranata when Handel spent 9 months in Dublin. Based on the Song of Song of Solomon, the libretto is a delightful collection of erotic poetry from the bible, scored for two shepherds, a tenor and a soprano, chorus and orchestra.
Fils du violoniste Isaac Stern, le plus français des chefs d’orchestre américains a une passion pour la musique et Paris. Il fête cette année les vingt ans d’Opera Fuoco, sa compagnie lyrique, pépinière de futurs virtuoses.
Opera Fuoco celebrates its 20th anniversary ! To celebrate this anniversary David Stern has invited soloists from 4 generations of the Opera Fuoco Young Artists Program. For two decades, the company has been committed to the training and integration of young talents who have become great talents.
