Don Giovanni poster
FILM

Don Giovanni was commissioned by the Prague Opera immediately after the success of The Marriage of Figaro: Mozart and Da Ponte wanted to build on their success and chose a subject that had triumphed just a few weeks earlier in Venice, a Don Giovanni composed by Giuseppe Gazzaniga. Revisiting the theme of the Seville Cheat – a prevalent subject in theatre since the mid-17th century, especially through Molière’s powerful incarnation, and in a ballet by Gluck in Vienna in 1761 – Da Ponte focused the work on the libertine character of Don Juan, no doubt drawing inspiration from his friend Casanova (who in fact helped make changes to Act 2, Scene 9, and attended the Prague première).

With this DVD and Blu-ray of Rodelinda, one of Handel’s most emotionally complex operas, conductor Emmanuelle Haïm adds to her impressive Erato catalogue of the composer’s works. The imaginative production, by Jean Bellorini, was seen at the Opéra de Lille in Autumn 2018, and the cast features soprano Jeanine De Bique in the title role, countertenor Tim Mead as her husband Bertarido and another countertenor, Erato’s rising star Jakub Józef Orliński as Unulfo. Reviewing the production, Le Monde noted Emmanuelle Haïm’s “intimate connection with this music, which she knows how to unleash in all its violence, passion and heart-wrenching expressivity.”

Baroque concert featuring countertenor Jakub Józef Orlinski | Works by Handel, Cavalli and others poster
FILM

Exceptional baroque concert given by countertenor Jakub Józef Orlinski and the ensemble Il Pomo d'Oro on 21 July 2021 at the Théâtre du Capitole in Toulouse. The program entitled “Facce d'Amore” includes 8 world premieres. Each piece tells a story that depicts the male figure in the Baroque era - and not only the positive aspects, such as the pleasure of mutual love, but also anger and even madness. Spanning a period of almost 85 years, the arias in “Facce d'Amore” are by Handel, Cavalli, Boretti, Bononcini, Conti, Locatelli, Orlandini, and others. Accompanied by the musicians of Il Pomo d'Oro – an Italian ensemble conducted by Zefira Valova – Jakub Jozef Orliński delights in performing these pieces with precision and a sense of theatricality. The magnificent Théâtre du Capitole in Toulouse is the ideal setting for one of the most dazzling countertenors of his generation to explore the rare gems of 17th and 18th century Italian opera.
