INNSBRUCK/AUSTRIA: Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik markes their place in the Fesitval Jungle at its 39st Year. With a barock opera highlight Nicola Antonio Porporas opera Il Germanico from 1732 presented in regi by Alexander Schulin in Tiroler Landestheater, Innsbruck.

. On of the operacomposer Nicola Porporas 32 operas, who last time was presented in Roma, Italy in 1732, has become a big success for the theatre, and specially for the musical director Alessandro de Marchi, who is responsable for finding this opera. After this large success, who ufortunately only was being played at 3 performances, it was easy for me to propose to the artistic director of the festival, to repeat Il Germanico next year, or the year after, but with four or fives opera, because after such a success, the audience can fill up the house evening after evening.
The opera is full of wonderful music, and it is clear that this composer can compose wonderful music, he knew how to form the recitatives and arias, and to give them different temperatures comparing to the texts, and to give the singers – in this 6 soloists, with a lot of demanding parts to handle. And so they did to bravour.
Headed by the splendid messo soprano Patricia Bardon, the great cast with David Hansen and Klara Ek as the leading and very well singing couple, we enjoyed a production, full of drama, David Hansen is of world class and on his way to being the leading countertenor in the world to day.

But also including many brilliant amusing and charming parts, in this case, specially the “entertainments” that Hagen Matzeit – the other countertenor in the production – made together with his partner Emilie Renard. As far as I have understod, they didn´t get any particular “help” from the regiseur, but had to make their long demanding scenes together in all three acts, where I very well remember and enjoyed their “two cats” play in the first act, the “amoureuse” entertainment in the second, and in the third act where Renard first has a hysterically dramatic part, but they are ending up being lyrical dramatic. Very well performed, and it did that their very long soli, repeting and repeting the same melody, but with different expression, as it was at the time when Porpora, – and Händel, and others, did that. It was being refreshing and enjoy able.
Carlo Vincenzo Allemano was great as the father of the two daughters, played by Klara Ek and Emilia Renard, and he was inside and outside the entrigue all the time, singing first class.
I was amased by the scenographic solution, during all first act, when one or two singers was going in front of the red front carpet, and then after a few minutes, opening up again to a new scene,that I in the second and third act found out was a turning stage, but with the posibility to remove details, to give even more different room and space for the many different actions going on i different locations. This was very good followed up by great light
.
The costumes was beautiful, and gave us a good atmosphaere, of course not back to the Roma time, but still it was working very well.
The extra mens on stage playing a lot of roles, mostly following up and making the entrees of Germanico, did good jobs, and made good groups, well arranged by the regisseur.
The musical side: Alessandro de Marchi creates despite the epic length of the piece with his orchestra Academia Montis Regalis creates an immense lively, musically exciting and steadily pulsing revive the forgotten piece. Patricia Bardon enchanted with her deep mezzo and female acts in any moment. A perfect opponent for David Hansen with his highly virtuosic countertenor voice. Klara Ek Rosmonda served flawless coloratura without tiring. It is cooed, sighed, cried, laughed with inexhaustible force. What a vocal performance of all those involved!
From Bayerisches Radios critic by Franziska Stürz:
good bye
“In the title role we enjoyed the mezzo-soprano Patricia Bardon together with the famouse countertenor David Hansen as Arminio, with brilliant virtoucity and Hagen Matzeit as Cecina managed well to fill the room, as mezzo-soprano Klara Ek as Rosmonda, soprano Emilie Renard as Ersinda and tenor Carlo Vincenzo Allemano as Segeste. Acting-wise, they convinced with matching Baroque gestures and sometimes flashes of humor”.
Franziska Stürz continues “Not only Handel.
The Innsbruck Festival of Early Music prove with this rediscovery that there are quite are other composers-gods George Frideric Handel, who are worth it to resurrect. You just have to do the work to excavate the material. Alessandro de Marchi has earned for “Il Germanico” the jubilation at the premiere”.
In ATV is describing the singers – and musicians in a brilliant way: “The singers – and musicians were doing their job to their limits. They impressively decorated the six stage actor of recitatives and arias with elaborate coloratura flourishes stimmakrobatischen and improvised antics. Considerable pitches, effective vibrato and neverending Triller wore the your help to give all voices shine and penetration”.
