About

The young Russian singer Julia Lezhneva, who is equally agile in Handel, Mozart and Rossini, is compelling as she tackles the most tortuous arias with ease. This evening will be a treat for her as the programme she is presenting with countertenor Carlo Vistoli requires both panache and a mastery of rhythm. The young Italian has already carved out a place for himself in the small world of countertenors since his early days in William Christie’s Jardin des Voix. With his powerful projection, and speed which is never to the detriment of careful phrasing, he has performed on some of the most impressive baroque stages in the world in recent seasons (Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Salzburg Festival, the Rome Opera House, La Fenice in Venice, and the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, to name but a few). The rich programme which they are presenting this evening brings together some of the finest works by Vivaldi, Handel and Porpora in particular.
