For \u201cTanz des Lebens\u201d<\/i> (engl. dance of life), the 2017 Styriarte summer festival, a fantastic endeavour was undertaken, the realisation of La Margarita, <\/i>a baroque <\/i>pastiche* opera with dancing horses. The inspiration was the historic horse ballet, from 1667 under emperor Leopold in Vienna. The setting for this revival of a forgotten art form, was the baroque castle Schielleiten and its surrounding gardens. Visitors were invited to enjoy a festival for all their senses, an afternoon of musical events and happenings around the castle grounds as well as the final opera spectacle in the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u00bb30px\u00bb][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Julla von Landsberg – soprano as La musica<\/p>\n \u00a0Flavio Ferri-Benedetti – countertenor as Herkules<\/p>\n \u00a0Daniel Johannsen – tenor as Kaiser Leopold I<\/p>\n \u00a0Jochen Kupfer – baritone as Hesperos<\/p>\n \u00a0Neue Hofkapelle Graz<\/p>\n \u00a0Trompetenconsort Innsbruck, direction: Andreas Lackner<\/p>\n \u00a0Thomas H\u00f6ft –\u00a0 chamberlain and stage production<\/p>\n \u00a0Michael Hell – harpsichord & musical direction<\/p>\n \u00a0Lilli Hartmann – set design and costumes<\/p>\n \u00a0Epona – Spanish Equestrian School Hungary<\/p>\n \u00a0Dorottya Bors\u00f3 – choreography<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u00bb30px\u00bb] https:\/\/styriarte.com\/filmeausschnitte-la-margarita\/<\/a><\/p>\n* In music, a pasticcio or pastiche is an opera or other musical work composed of works by different composers who may or may not have been working together<\/h6><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=\u00bb30px\u00bb][vc_separator color=\u00bbcustom\u00bb accent_color=\u00bb#ad5142″][vc_empty_space height=\u00bb30px\u00bb][vc_column_text]Filmed excerpt of the event:<\/p>\n
