Barocchissimo!
Orchestral Concert
Friday, 18 August 2023
7.30 pm, Saanen Church
Cecilia Bartoli needs no introduction! More than a diva, the Italian mezzo-soprano has become a true icon of the international music scene. She is both an exceptional performer – total commitment, guaranteed to thrill! – and a creator of programmes of rare intelligence, which she often devises herself in the depths of the library. For her latest recital-event in the Saanen Church, she has enlisted a high-flying orchestra, Il Pomo d'Oro, which has specialised in providing a “luxury escort” for baroque stars since its creation in 2012.
