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.

Clemenza de Tito

Mozart’s last opera was by no means a return to an earlier style. This Opera Seria displays all the sensibility and colors of the composer’s late period. The relationship between the singers and the orchestra is nothing short of revolutionary.

L’amor conjugale, Mayr 

David Stern leads this concertante performance of Giovanni Simone Mayr’s L’amor conjugale at the Theater an def Wien, which brings together Opera Fuoco’s period instrument orchestra and four generations of its Young Artist Program. The evening presents Mayr’s charming one-act opera based on Nicolas Brouilly’s Leonora (same as Beethoven’s Fidelio) written in the late classical and early bel canto styles, resulting in a quirky combination of German and Italian opera traditions.
