The International Opera Awards nominated the still young Bayreuth Baroque Opera Festival in the category “Best Festival 2023”. Not only this, the magazine Opernwelt nominated it multiple times in various categories and selected Alessandro nell’ Indie (2022) as the opera with the best costumes of the year. The program of Bayreuth Baroque 2024 is setting its sails on expansion course. Once again this year, it is presenting two scenic opera productions: firstly, Ifigenia in Aulide by Nicola Antonio Porpora is being rediscovered after almost three hundred years in a new production by the artistic director Max Emanuel Cencic (5, 7, 13 and 15 September 2024). But not only this: with Antonio Vivaldi’s Orlando Furioso and the Teatro Comunale di Ferrara and Teatro Pavarotti di Modena an international coproduction is taking place for the first time at the Margravial Opera House (10 and 11 September 2024). Many further events including seven concerts will be breaking ground in their exploration of baroque Bayreuth in various venues. In addition, the 2024 festival has been able to engage two international top baroque ensembles as its festival orchestras: Les Talens Lyriques under Christophe Rousset and Il Pomo d’Oro under Francesco Corti. Tickets are on sale starting on 14 December 2023.
