Island of Memory

Dizzying love frenzy, tormenting hope, shaken disbelief, trembling sorrow, unleashed anger: In hardly any other love story are the anxieties of waiting and the subsequent bitter disappointment felt as intensely as in this tale from Greek mythology. Joseph Haydn's masterpiece "Arianna a Naxos" is the brilliant highlight of the concert program, which leads to a collection of baroque gems throughout the performance.

Thus, the unparalleled ensemble Il Giardino Armonico, under the direction of Giovanni Antonini, returns to Melk for another unforgettable evening. Additionally, one can look forward to the mezzo-soprano Patricia Nolz – a rising star in the Austrian music scene making her debut at the Baroque Days.
