Over the past decades, the MusikTheater an der Wien has become a major centre for Baroque music – in which the right stylistics are absolutely crucial. How should a da-capo aria be embellished? Should one sing with vibrato or without? Should Vivaldi be presented differently from Handel? The Austrian lutenist and composer David Bergmüller, professor at the Cologne University of Music and Dance, supports students with their work on Baroque music and demonstrates how historical knowledge can be drawn on for musical practice. This season he also leads the evening of musical theatre Combattimenti from behind his lute and can be heard in the “Hölle!” series of concerts.
