DREAMS

A quarter of a century of the Summer Festivities of Early Music

If you hear beautiful music in your dreams, it is a lucky sign – only good things are in store for you! One of them is already here – the Summer Festivities of Early Music have published the programme of their 25th anniversary edition, whose fine-tuned dramaturgy is framed by DREAMS. The festival’s offerings focus on dreaming and imagination in various early music contexts, as well as the work of musical visionaries. Audiences can look forward to treats and treasures from the music archives, unusual musical instruments, unbridled musicality and the captivating musical creativity of the invited artists.

The concerts will bring to life the singing and music-making angels from an altar triptych from the end of the 15th century, evoke the atmosphere of salon concerts of the music-loving nobility and bourgeoisie (where the works of such geniuses as W. A. Mozart and L. van Beethoven used to be heard), present brilliant works by composers from sunny Naples (which was not for nothing called the “conservatory of Europe”), and will also give space to exotic repertoire – listeners can expect melancholic modinhas, emotionally intense fado, sensual dances called lundum and other impressive rhythms and breathtaking melodies of the southern European repertoire. The final performance will offer a scenic production of G. F. Handel’s pastoral opera featuring puppets.

The celebration of the festival’s 25th birthday will culminate in the theatre – the place where magic and miracles transport the audience to a world of fantasy. Acis and Galatea is an ideal picture of a life of love and peace, which even jealousy cannot destroy and in which death is not a sign of the end but of a new beginning. The sparklingly delightful, yet at the same time fatally dramatic story of the nymph Galatea, the shepherd Acis and the Cyclops Polyphemus will be told by five soloists, actors from the Buchty a Loutky theatre troupe and the Collegium Marianum ensemble under the direction of Jana Semerádová.
