FROM THE MOZ­ART WEEK 2017

Mozart’s Requiem in the magnif­i­cent eques­trian choreog­raphy by the French rid­er and the­atre di­rector Bartabas with his team from the Académie équestre de Versailles.

The production in the Felsenre­itschule of Mozart’s cantata Da­vide pen­i­tente by the French eques­trian artist and stage di­rector Bartabas performed by hors­es and rid­ers from the Académie équestre de Versailles, with Marc Minkowski con­ducting Les Mu­siciens du Louvre was the absolute high­light of the Mozart Week 2015. Based on the expe­ri­ence gained then, Bartabas returns to Salzburg with his no­ble hors­es for the Mozart Week 2017 to present one of the most popular and at the same time most profound and sublime cre­ations by Mozart in a new scenic con­text: the Requiem, sung by the Salzburg Bach Choir, the soloists Genia Kühmei­er, Elisabeth Kulmann, Julien Behr and Charles Dekeys­er togeth­er with Les Mu­siciens du Louvre con­ducted by Marc Minkowski. The Mozart Week 2017 is the last one planned by Marc Minkowski in his po­sition as artis­tic di­rector.
