Regina Coeli

About

This is a concert presentation by the Orquesta Barroca de Sevilla with Beatriz Oleaga as mezzo-soprano and Ignacio Ramal as first violin and conductor. The programme alternates instrumental and vocal Baroque repertoire in four items: Corelli's Concerto grosso Op. 6 No. 2, Porpora's Salve Regina, Haendel's Concerto grosso Op. 6 No. 9 and Vivaldi's Stabat Mater. The two vocal works are Marian devotional works, with Porpora's piece described as opera-seria-influenced and virtuosic, while Vivaldi's work is presented as concentrated and sober. No separate staging, scenic action, costumes, lighting plan or directorial concept is published.
