The program for 2020 is Handel's (arranged by Mozart) "Messiah," directed by Robert Wilson, one of the leading performing artists of our time.Performed by the Musiciens de la Palais du Louvre led by Marc Minkowski, using a version arranged by Mozart in 1789, the Messiah story was set to music and performed in stage form. The modern, contemporary set-up, the serene setting directed by dancers and child actors, and Minkowski's supple approach beautifully portrayed the new world created by Robert Wilson. The soloists also include Elena Tsaragova, a soprano with a beautiful, elongated voice. The alto Wiepke Lehmkuhl sang with great stability. American tenor Richard Croft, known for his many collaborations with Minkowski, and bass singer Jose Coca Rosa, who has attracted attention through his collaborations with Bartoli, are all fresh and talented singers, allowing the audience to enjoy the music to the fullest.
