Davide Penitente

The presentation of Davide penitente at the Mozart Week 2015 is an event for all the senses: by bringing together the Salzburg Mozart tradition and contemporary culture with the Académie équestre de Versailles under Bartabas in an unusual and yet obvious location – The Felsenreitschule in Salzburg (riding school) – new and surprising perspectives are offered for what is only seemingly to be the thoroughly known œuvre of Mozart. The artistic collaboration between Marc Minkowski, Les Musiciens du Louvre Grenoble, outstanding singers, and the French equine artist Bartabas together with the Academy of Equestrian Arts turns Mozart’s cantata into a unique gesamtkunstwerk.
