Founded in 1997 by Andrea Marcon, the Venice Baroque Orchestra is one of
the most famous ensembles in the world performing baroque music. For its concert
and opera programmes in North America, Europe, South America, Japan and South
Korea, the orchestra has, on numerous occasions, received tremendous critical
acclaim. The orchestra’s musicians dedicate much of their time and energy to
discovering and performing forgotten 17th and 18th century masterpieces. The
ensemble has been the first modern-day orchestra to perform such works as
Francesco Cavalli’s L’Orione, Vivaldi’s Atenaide and Andromeda liberata,
Benedetto Marcello’s La morte d’Adone and Il trionfo della poesia e della musica
and Boccherini’sClementina. At the Teatro la Fenice the orchestra has performed
Cimarosa’s operaL’Olimpiade, Handel’s Siroe, re di Persia and Galuppi’s
L’Olimpiade. Siroe was later revived at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New
York in its first full staging in the United States. In the 2011–2012 season the
orchestra’s musicians performed Vivaldi’s Stabat Mater and Gloria at the
Concertgebouw in Bruges, appeared in concerts in Portugal and France with
soprano Patricia Petibon and performed the opera-pasticcio L’Olimpiade to a
libretto by Pietro Metastasio in London, Dijon, Brussels, Paris, Athens and
Siena. The same season, the orchestra also performed together with the violinist
Giuliano Carmignola at the Enescu Festival and at festivals in Gstaad and
Dubrovnik, with the block flautist Anna Fusek in the Czech Republic and with the
singers Romina Basso in Italy and Russia and Simone Kermes in Poland. In the
2010–2011 season the orchestra toured to twenty-eight cities in the USA with
violinist Robert McDuffie, presenting premiere performances of Philip Glass’ new
violin concerto The American Four Seasons and tours to Japan and South Korea
with Giuliano Carmignola. Moreover, this season has seen concerts in Austria and
France with Patricia Petibon, performances of Vivaldi’s La Senna festeggiante at
the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and a series of baroque cello concerts together
with Gautier Capuзon in Germany. Several TV films have been made about the
ensemble by BBC, ARTE, NTR (Netherlands) and NHK. The Venice Baroque Orchestra
is sponsored by the Fondazione Cassamarca in Treviso.
