Castrato Arias

With Johann Adolph Hasse Reloaded (OC 830), Valer Sabadus became the shooting star amongst countertenors. In December 2013, he appeared in Mozart roles for the Styriarte. The Salzburg master wrote them for some of the greatest castrati of his time: Rauzzini, Consoli, Bedini. The young interpreter must therefore sing up into the heights of the soprano range; he succeeds in this wonderfully, as he also does in the exploration of profound feelings. With his mentor Michael Hofstetter is on the podium, his flawlessly beautiful singing is supported by the orchestras pulsing Mozartian vitality.
