Breakup

One of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe‘s most important partners is Robin Ticciati, with whom the COE will perform in Berlin and Hamburg in January 2025. Joining as soloist is British countertenor Iestyn Davies, who is performing with the COE for the first time. The concert programme juxtaposes arias from operas and oratorios by George Frideric Handel with arias from Mozart’s opera Mitridate, which he composed at the age of 14, and explores the transition between the late Baroque and Classical periods. For as different as the two epochs appear in form, content and orientation, there are still significant references to be discovered.
