Ballet music by Johann Heinrich Schmelzer & Antonio Centi[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u00bb30px\u00bb][vc_column_text]For \u201cTanz des Lebens\u201d<\/em> (engl. dance of life), the 2017 Styriarte summer festival, a fantastic endeavour was undertaken, the realisation of La Margarita, <\/em>a baroque 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.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=\u00bb30px\u00bb][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
