“IL GIUSTINO”
Opera in 3 acts by Antonio Vivaldi
Opera in Venetian palaces
OPERA DA CAMERA DI VENEZIA
VENETIAN BAROQUE OPERA
Join us for an unforgettable night of celebration! We are proud to present
one of Antonio Vivaldi's most extravagant masterpieces: the opera
“Giustino”. Venetian musicians and opera soloists perform a nuanced,
emotional and dramatic program in which audience and actors integrate in
a particularly festive and relaxed version of the opera performance.
BAROQUE SPIRIT
For those who wish, our make-up artists can "style" you in the Baroque
fashion, and our tailors - who also made costumes for Lasse Hallström's
film “Casanova” - can provide costumes and authentic carnival masks to
create an unforgettable night of celebration. You are welcome to become
co-creators of this charming opera festival in the best Venetian Baroque
spirit. The opera “Giustino” in three acts by Vivaldi will be performed in this
festive and relaxed atmosphere in a typical Venetian palace.
VIVALDI OPERA FESTIVAL
Vivaldi's operas have once again become fashionable with a modern
audience. In the great opera houses many of Vivaldi's operas now form part
of the repertoire. In his time, Vivaldi was one of Italy's most sought-after
opera composers and in Venice, Rome and Florence his operas filled the
theatres to full capacity. Vivaldi’s music is life-affirming, rhythmic and easy
to listen to even in our own time. Sometimes one is tempted to call him the
master of "barock'n roll"!
