Du sprichst, daß ich mich täuschte

So stehn wir, ich und meine Weide
Wie bist du, meine Königin

La Gioconda - "La Gioconda" is a renowned opera in four acts by Amilcare Ponchielli set to an Italian libretto by Arrigo Boito, who is better known under his pseudonym Tobia Gorrio. The opera was first performed in 1876 at Teatro alla Scala, Milan.
The story of "La Gioconda" is set in Venice during the 17th century and revolves around a woman named Gioconda, who is a singer. The plot is filled with political intrigue, love triangles, and a high-stakes game of life and death. The opera is famous for its ballet, "Dance of the Hours," which is considered one of the most popular ballets in history and has been used in various films and commercials.
The main characters include La Gioconda herself, her mother La Cieca, Enzo Grimaldo (a prince in disguise and Gioconda's love interest), Laura Adorno (Enzo's lover), Alvise Badoero (Laura's husband and a member of the Venetian Inquisition), and Barnaba (a spy for the Inquisition who is infatuated with Gioconda).
Despite the opera's dark themes, it is celebrated for its powerful and emotive music, particularly the arias "Cielo e mar" (Sky and Sea) and "Suicidio!" (Suicide!). "La Gioconda" remains a staple in the repertoire of many opera houses around the world.
Choral Concert - Giuseppe Verdi - in 2024, Verdi's famous Requiem is on the programme - the Orchestra dell'Accademia di Santa Cecilia knows the work like no other and has performed it more than 80 times. The solo parts are cast with Sonya Yoncheva, Judit Kutasi, Jonas Kaufmann and Michele Pertusi. The orchestra is reinforced by the Coro dell'Accademia di Santa Cecilia and the Bachchor Salzburg.
Orchestral Concert I - Italy as seen through the eyes of Italian composers is the thread that connects the pieces in our Orchestral Concert I conducted by Antonio Pappano. The programme includes masterpieces by Luigi Boccherini, Amilcare Ponchielli, Victor de Sabata and Ottorino Respighi.
Orchestral Concert II - Orchestral Concert II is also dedicated to Italy, but this time with works by non-Italian composers who show their view of the country. The guest conductor is Jakub Hrůša, Principal Guest Conductor of Santa Cecilia, who will present music by Berlioz and Martinů.
>>Johannes-Passion<< - Dance - In 2024, a dance world premiere opens the Festival one day earlier than usual: legendary choreographer Sasha Waltz presents her version of Johann Sebastian Bach's St John Passion.
>>Seme<< - Electro Presented by Max Cooper - The internationally sought-after electro artist Max Cooper was inspired by Italy and the sound of the south with »Seme« and presents one of his live performances, which are always also an immersive audiovisual experience.
Song Recital I - Baritone Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber, his long-time partner at the piano, have put together a programme of selected songs by Johannes Brahms for you.
Song Recital II - The celebrated soprano Lise Daviden makes her Salzburg debut with this recital and, together with tenor Freddie De Tommaso and pianist James Baillieu, creates an evening of arias, songs and duets from Wagner and Verdi to Puccini and Tosti.
