Dramatic cantata by Benjamin Britten featuring Isabel Karajan as narrator. High-caliber chamber music from the Baroque to the present day at Solitär Salzburg.
Description
As part of the HerbstTöne 2026 festival, Benjamin Britten’s dramatic cantata "The Rescue of Penelope" will be performed. The work draws on motifs from Homer’s "Odyssey" and tells the story of Penelope’s wait for her husband Odysseus to return. The performance features Isabel Karajan as the narrator, Mina Nori (Athene), Lurda Bukauskaite (Artemis), Yonah Raupers (Hermes), and Mattia Enrico Ingellis (Apollo). The Mozarteum University Chamber Ensemble will be conducted musically by Chungki Min.
The HerbstTöne 2026 festival presents six chamber music concerts featuring works from antiquity to the present day, including rare pieces from the Classical period and modern compositions. One evening is dedicated to guitar ensembles, and another to the cello.
