Product Description

For this spectacular production of Mozart's Davide penitente on the vast stage of the Salzburg Felsenreitschule at the Mozart Week 2015, Marc Minkowski and the equestrian choreographer Bartabas used dancing horses and thus restored the former riding school to it's original function. Horses, riders from the Acadmie questre de Versailles and Bartabas himself, whose successful productions are unique in the world of art, perform their elegant dressage arabesques within this exceptional setting. Soloists, chorus and orchestra are ranged over three levels on galleries cut from the bare rock. The result is a unique synthesis of the arts. A festival of beauty (Munich Abendzeitung), Minkowski and Bartabas have created a great piece of theatre (NMZ)
