‘Viaggio dell’ anima’ with the lautten compagney

On February 9, Rolando Villazón continues his collaboration with Wolfgang Katschner and the lautten compagney, presenting a new concert program, Viaggio dell’ anima, at the Parktheater Iserlohn. Following their overwhelmingly successful performances of L’Orfeo at the Semperoper Dresden in 2023 and 2024, Viaggio dell’anima focuses on the journey of a modern person to the center of their soul, reflecting on the highs and lows of human existence. 

The program highlights music of the 17th century, featuring Claudio Monteverdi and his contemporaries. In this period of Italian music, “Nuove Musiche” elevated accompanied solo singing, shifting the actions and feelings of the individual to the center of musical representations. Solo madrigals, cantatas, and opera came from this new style, which remains refreshingly relevant today.
