Magdalena Kožená concert in Vicenza at the Olympic Theatre

Magdalena Kožená concert in Vicenza at the Olympic Theatre

The Czech mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená performed in Vicenza at the Olympic Theatre the last week and she chose our Relais Santa Corona for her stay.

The concert had an exclusively Baroque repertoire and Magdalena was accompanied by the Venice Baroque Orchestra directed by master Andrea Marcon. The concert was entirely devoted to Friedrich Händel, a German composer of the 17th century. Magdalena was born in Moravia in 1973 and initially she turns his passion to the piano but breaking the hand at a young age approaches the song. She studied singing and piano at the Conservatory of Brno and graduated at the College of Scenic Arts in Bratislava. The first incisions are Bach areas that allow them to be noted and written by the Deutsche Grammophon German record company. Kožená appears regularly at Prague Spring and Concentus Moraviae Festival, as well as performing throughout Europe.

The association was founded in 1910 by the hand of Antonio Fogazzaro, a Vicentean writer who brought together non-profit music lovers in the city. Since then, the activity has been around for years and has attracted a crowd of 20,000 viewers.

Our hotel Relais Santa Corona is the ideal base for discover the city of Andrea Palladio, rich in architectural, natural and cultural beauties, in a recently restored 1700 building.

Il mezzo soprano Ceco Magdalena Kožená si è esibita la settimana scorsa al Teatro Olimpico ed ha scelto il nostro Relais Santa Corona per il suo soggiorno a Vicenza. Il concerto ha avuto un repertorio esclusivamente barocco e Magdalena è stata accompagnata dalla Venice Baroque Orchestra diretta dal maestro Andrea Marcon. Il concerto è stato interamente dedicato a Friedrich Händel, compositore tedesco naturalizzato inglese del 1700. Magdalena nasce nella Moravia orientale nel 1973 ed inizialmente volge la sua passione verso il pianoforte ma la rottura della mano in giovane età la avvicina al canto. Studia canto e pianoforte al Conservatorio di Brno e si laurea al Collegio di Arti Sceniche di Bratislava. Le prime incisioni sono aree di Bach che le consentono di essere notata e scritturata dalla casa discografica tedesca  Deutsche Grammophon. La Kožená appare regolarmente presso il Praga Spring ed al Concentus Moraviae Festival, oltre ad esibirsi in tutta Europa.

Il nostro hotel Relais Santa Corona è base ideale per conoscere la città del Palladio, ricca di bellezze architettoniche, naturali e di cultura, in un palazzetto del 1700 recentemente ristrutturato.
