Baroque music in extraordinary settings in Venice: Monteverdi Vivaldi Festival 2014
From the 5th of July 2014, some of the most famous artists in the International scene will perform in the most suggestive sites of Venice for the
Monteverdi Vivaldi Festival 2014.
The rich programme of the Festival, which will be held in very special settings such as the
Scuola Grande di San Rocco,
Ca’ Pesaro, the
Sale Apollinee of La Fenice Theatre,
St. Mark’s Basilica and the
Teatrino of Palazzo Grassi, want to analyze and reinforce the relationship between
Venice and
France forged in the XVII century giving to the public the opportunity to appreciate Venetian song, dance and baroque harpsichord. This year a special focus on the Venetian vocal repertoire. The partnership with
La Fenice Theatre is even closer and blossoms around the great composer of Venetian opera,
Francesco Cavalli. After the première of his
Eritrea, together with a conference in collaboration with the
International Musicological Society, the Festival organizers will present a selection of Cavalli’s sacred music at Saint Mark’s for the first time.
