After the tremendous success of a concert performance of Peter von Winter's one-act opera "Pigmalione" last year, I conducted the first modern scenic performances of this masterpiece. Directed by André Meyer, the production of this beautiful opera marked the 20th anniversary of Sommeroper Britz in Berlin.
On January 15th, 2021 the new album "Salieri & Beethoven in Dialogue" has been released. It's the second part of my collaboration with Heidelberg Symphony Orchestra exploring Salieri's oeuvre. This CD sheds new light on Salieri's and Beethoven's teacher-student relationship. The album has been nominated in three categories for an OPUS KLASSIK award 2021.
