Gondoliers / Holger Falk
»Venice« Easter Festival
The singing gondoliers are without doubt Venice’s most famous voices and the epitome of Canal Grande romance. Baritone Holger Falk now slips into this Venetian role and takes the audience on a journey through a centuries-old repertoire of songs.
A Baroque writer once noted: »In Venice they all sing: on the squares, in the streets and on the canals! The merchant sings while doing business, the labourer sings on his way to work and the gondolier sings while waiting for his padrone.«
A renowned early music ensemble supports Falk, and a Venetian soundscape and video projections create the right mood – but not without an ironic break from them in this age of cruise liners and selfie tourists.
