On the Horizon of Time

No matter what difficulties we face and what challenges we have to overcome daily, life teaches us to give hope a chance. This concert follows an inner journey through storm, doubt, and confidence. Boisterous arias, lamenting instrumental sounds, and radiant flute melodies create a bridge from threat and inner turmoil to the search for comfort and a new ray of light on the horizon: The night passes – the light awakens. Dorothea Seel presents three promising young singers this evening, who shone at the Cesti Competition 2024 and are now also to be experienced in Melk as part of a collaboration with the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music.
