Highlights: Franco Fagioli Recital at Théâtre des Champs-Élysées

Fabulous: A word that only begins to describe the vocal flexibility and talent of Franco Fagioli.
His vocal range, impressive virtuosity, and dramatic interpretation are some of the few reasons his name has become known in the industry. More precisely, thanks to his effortlessly transitions from contralto to soprano, he excels in the Baroque repertoire, both on stage and in recordings.

 

For this recital, he has chosen to temporarily set aside Handel and Vivaldi and concentrate on Mozart's early works composed for the triumphant castrati of 18th-century Italy. This is the case with Mitridate Re di Ponto, which premiered in Milan in 1770, when Mozart was only fourteen, and which included three castrati among its performers. Other operas in Mozart's opera seria style, such as Lucio Silla (Milan 1772), La Finta Giardiniera (Munich 1775), and La Clemenza di Tito (Prague 1791), also explored this vocal range. The castrato Venanzio Rauzzini, one of the last great representatives of the castrati, even premiered Mozart’s motet, "Exsultate Jubilate" dedicated to him in Milan in 1773.

 

Accompanying Franco Fagioli will be nothing less than Kammerorchester Basel conducted by violinist Baptiste Lopez.
