Pinchgut Opera presents Antonio Vivaldi\u2019s passionate and powerful\u00a0Bajazet<\/em>,\u00a0performed for the first time in the southern hemisphere and\u00a0the latest Baroque masterpiece to be rediscovered by the chamber opera ensemble.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bajazet<\/i>\u00a0is a rarely performed operatic gem that premiered in Verona in 1735. The performance features an array of brilliant arias designed to showcase the virtuosic talents of the Baroque artists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Replete with themes of betrayal, love and lust,\u00a0Bajazet\u00a0<\/em>tells a tale full of romantic entanglement and love triangles. Tamerlano, Emperor of the Tartars, has conquered Bajazet, Emperor of the Turks, but desires the hand of Bajazet’s daughter Asteria. Meanwhile Tamerlano has already promised to marry Irene, princess of Trebisond. To solve his problem, Tamerlano hands Irene off to Andronico, his Greek ally. However, Andronico is also in love with Asteria.<\/p>\n

Directed by Thomas de Mallet Burgess,\u00a0Bajazet<\/em>\u00a0features an exceptional cast including Hadleigh Adams in the title role (Castor & Pollux)<\/em>, alongside American counter-tenor Christopher Lowrey (Faramondo<\/i>). The performance will also see a number of exceptional period instrument players from Australia and around the world in the\u00a0Orchestra of the Antipodes, led by Matthew Greco and conducted by\u00a0Erin Helyard.<\/p>\n
