Budapest Festival Orchestra
Conductor: Jonathan Cohen
The BFO’s audience has been well aware since 2011 that whenever the name of Sigrid T’Hooft, one of the greatest experts of Baroque gesture, appears in the programme, they are in for some wonderful early music experience. This time, the authentic appearance and movement will be presented by Christophe Dumaux, whose voice was hailed as “bright, clear and strong” in a review in The New York Times, while he was described as “tall, trim and athletic: a natural on stage”. He has sung in Handel’s operas on the world’s greatest stages from the Vienna Staatsoper and La Scala in Milan to the Metropolitan Opera in New York. In addition to the opera arias, a beautiful cantata and a moving Marian hymn and concertos by Vivaldi will also be performed, conducted by Jonathan Cohen, a British master of Baroque music and a return conductor of the Festival Orchestra.
