l'arte del mondo & Anthony Roth Costanzo
Baroque meets Minimal Music
Together with American countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo - a megastar in the USA and a rising star, actor and producer in Europe - Werner Ehrhardt and his authentic soundscape ensemble l'arte del mondo venture into a unique combination of Baroque and minimal music: Handel and Glass. The audience can look forward to one-of-a-kind and innovative art. The outstanding Costanzo immediately captivates the audience, due to his authenticity and exciting stories he reveals about the works. An event not to be missed!

“Costanzo's concept of mixing Handel arias, the minimal music of Philip Glass, lyrics by songwriters such as David Byrne (Talking Heads) and video art from the hands of absolute luminaries of the artistic film business is powerfully overwhelming and maximally aesthetic.”
