Sophie Karthäuser & Les Muffatti, Tragedy, irony and the world in between: Telemann heron

Enviable multi-talent, impeccable stylist: Georg Philipp Telemann was the godfather of the European baroque. This program zooms in on two cantatas that demonstrate his theatrical instinct, artistic freedom, and above-average sense of humor. In Ino unfolds a mythological drama around a Theban princess who is driven to madness by gods and husband. The perfect pendant: Du angenehmer Weiberorden – a witty reflection on marital expectations and human illusions. Sopraan Sophie Karthaüser switches effortlessly between desperate princess and blushing bride, Les Muffatti serves instrumental repertoire that highlights Telemann’s imagination and creativity. A concert full of contrasts, in which tragedy and humor challenge each other like hunter and prey!
