Misteria Paschalia Festival in Cracow
This year’s Misteria Paschalia Festival is going to be special. Not only because this is a jubilee edition, the tenth edition, but also because the audience will witness extraordinary musical events.
This year’s Misteria Paschalia Festival is going to be special. Not only because this is a jubilee edition, the tenth edition, but also because the audience will witness extraordinary musical events. The festival will begin on the 25th of March and last for a week – until Easter Sunday (the 31st of March). Tickets will go on sale on the 21st of January and will be available for purchase via the www.eventim.pl portal, as well as at three InfoKraków Tourist Information Network points: the Wyspiański Pavilion (pl. Wszystkich Świętych 2), the Tourist Services Centre (ul. Powiśle 11) and on ul. św. Jana 2. Traditionally, the festival concerts will be broadcast and recorded by Polish Radio 2.
The jubilee edition of the Misteria Paschalia Festival will be a meeting with good friends who appear every year, but also a presentation of the groups whose concerts in Krakow have gained the greatest public acclaim. And last but not least – Copernicus and Continunt Insulae – two premiere projects prepared with expertise by Jordi Savall, as well as Agnieszka Budzińska-Bennett and Michał Gondko.
This year’s edition will therefore comprise seven concerts that will be a hit chart for many. From Handel’s Il Trionfo del Tempo... in Giovanni Antonini’s interpretation, through Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo in Claudio Cavina’s interpretation and Mozart’s Great Mass in C Minor conducted by Marc Minkowski, to Vivica Genaux and Fabio Biondi’s recital. Krakow will again welcome Christophe Rousset, who, along with Les Talens Lyriques, will present an extraordinary programme of Mater Dolorosa, filled with the music of Leo, Traetta and Ferrandini, among others. Outstanding voices will also be back: the already mentioned Vivica Genaux, and also Sara Mingardo, Julia Lezhneva, Ann Hallenberg, Roberta Invernizzi, and others.
And this is what this jubilee is supposed to be like – star-studded and diverse. It is my great pleasure to invite you to the tenth edition of the Misteria Paschalia Festival.
