Patricia Petibon & Münchener Kammerorchester: Budapest Spring Festival

Over het evenement

The celebrated French soprano Patricia Petibon established her world fame as a specialist of early music. Accompanied by the Münchener Kammerorchester she will perform at this year's Budapest Spring Festival.

“Discovered” by William Christie, she made her debut at the Paris Opera in 1996, with a magical rendering of a minor role in Rameau’s Hippolyte et Aricie. She was subsequently employed by such greats of early music as Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Sir Roger Norrington, Christophe Rousset and Marc Minkowski. Over the past decade, Petibon has triumphed in opera roles by Mozart, Donizetti and Richard Strauss, and in 2010 she sang Berg’s Lulu in Geneva, Salzburg and Barcelona. Some critics also claim that over the same period Petibon’s voice and singing skills have become remarkably versatile and flexible, a feat few singers are capable of. Her first record of arias (Amoureuses, 2008) won the BBC Music Magazine’s prize for Best Opera Album in 2009. In 2010 she recorded Rosso, a selection of Italian Baroque arias, with the Venice Baroque Orchestra, conducted by Andrea Marcon. Being the all‐round singer that she is, her third solo record (Melancolía) comprises Spanish zarzuela songs and arias.
