Jean-Christophe Spinosi Conductor

Jean-Christophe Spinosi’s dynamic style of conducting lends punch and charisma to one of Vivaldi’s rarely performed operas, Orlando furioso. Many of the original soloists from his award-winning recording of the opera have been reunited for this one-off Festival concert performance.

What the critics say:

‘In this visceral, energetic account of Vivaldi’s operatic masterpiece, Jean-Christophe Spinosi brings together a truly outstanding cast of soloists creating a thrilling dramatic entity.’
- BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE

‘the singers respond vividly to the conductor’s extravagant theatricality, with Jennifer Larmore a formidable, vocally glamorous Alcina and Marie- Nicole Lemieux equally charismatic in the title role.’
