The season 2020—21 will be inaugurated by one of the most famous works in the history of music, Handel’s Messiah, and this “messianic” spirit pervades the dramaturgy of the whole concert series. The unconventional programme of the Advent concert will recreate the atmosphere of Italian Baroque Christmas and we shall celebrate the arrival of the New Year with Mozart’s Coronation Mass.
On Friday 28th March, Collegium 1704 performed in one of the most prestigious theater in Europe, Theater an der Wien. Collegium 1704 came back to Vienna after a triumphal premiére in Konzerthaus in January: this time it was with appreciated opera Olimpiade by Josef Mysliveček in a concert version.
