Anna Prohaska: Façades

Introduction

Star soprano Anna Prohaska joins forces with Emanuele Soavi’s award-winning dance company and period ensemble Lautten Compagney Berlin for an extraordinary performs that spans the ages.

Based on Claudio Monteverdi's expressive "Lamento della ninfa", the performers create a world of femininity with vocal music from the early Baroque to the present day. With song and dance, they tell of the emotional storms of a lover, torn between revolutionary power and emotional extremes, between archaic myth and the oppressive present.
