Sophie Karthäuser & Les Muffatti

Tragedy, irony and the world in between: Telemann rediscovered Enviably talented, impeccable stylist: Georg Philipp Telemann was the godfather of European baroque. This programme zooms in on two cantatas that demonstrate his theatrical instinct, artistic freedom and above-average sense of humour. In Ino, a mythological drama unfolds around a Theban princess driven to madness by gods and husband. The perfect counterpart: Du angenehmer Weiberorden – a witty reflection on marital expectations and human illusions. Soprano 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 humour challenge each other like hunter and prey! Programme: G.P. Telemann: Ino, TWV 20:41 | Du angenehmer Weiberorden, TWV 20:49 | Concerto for 2 flutes, bassoon & strings, TWV 53:G1 | Divertimento in Es, TWV 50:21
