VIVALDI
Dangerous liaisons

The first "impressive collaboration" (NRC) of Opera2Day with the Dutch Bach Society is a hit. The audience also embraces the performance. More than 12,000 tickets have already been sold. A selection of Vivaldi's finest opera music comes together with a new libretto written by Stefano Simone Pintor and based on Dangerous Liaisons, the famous eponymous novel from 1782. The result is "a perfect synthesis" (Place de l'Opera) and "the most convincing evidence that Vivaldi's opera music is wrongly fallen into oblivion" (Theaterkrant). A new opera with existing music. In the baroque they called it a 'pasticcio'. Vivaldi was a master in the genre. ""Surprisingly enough, the result is certainly not a patchwork, but a convincing Italian opera, in which known and unknown melodies convey with great emotion the staggering story of seduction, betrayal and love" (De Groene Amsterdammer). "This combination of historicising and innovative operatic practice can not be applauded loud enough... Opera2Day, led by Serge van Veggel, gives a fine example of out-of-the-box thinking" (De Volkskrant).
