Introduction 19.00 Uhr

Countertenor Valer Sabadus dedicates his aria concert to the beginning and the highpoint of Farinelli’s unparalleled career as a singer. He juxtaposes arias from operas by Handel with arias composed for Farinelli by Porpora. The castrato Nicolini sang the leading role in Handel’s triumphal London debut, «Rinaldo». Sabadus will slip into the same role and sing the famous aria «Venti, turbini». He will also perform arias from sacred and secular music theatre works with chamber music accompaniment, which were originally composed for the Viennese court. It was there that Farinelli once received a decisive tip from Emperor Charles VI, who was a composer himself, during a guest performance: more pathos and artlessness instead of mere vocal bravura!
