For centuries, Venice has been a point of attraction for travelers from all over the world. Besides the palazzi, the squares and churches, the lagoon city is especially famous for its living landmarks: the singing Gondolieri. Baritone Holger Falk slips into this Venetian parade role and takes the audience on a ride through centuries-old musical repertoire. Joining him on board are the renowned early music group nuovo aspetto and Merzouga, who contribute soundscapes from today’s Venice: the music, moods, and atmospheres of one of the world’s most fascinating destinations.
With “Il Gondoliere Veneziano” baritone Holger Falk presents a fascinating musical voyage through the historic and contemporary Venice. Music by many anonymous composers, but also by André Campra, Johann Simon Mayr, Giuseppe Tartini or Antonio Vivaldi.
