BAROQUE ORATORIUM / VFDH 2025

Marc'Antonio Ziani La Morte vinta sul Calvario. Sepolcro

Dagmar Šašková, mezzo-soprano Les Traversées Baroques artistic director Judith Paquier zinc conducted by Etienne Meyer The Venetian Marc'Antonio Ziani (1652 to 1715) spent the last fifteen years of his life at the imperial court in Vienna. He first became famous as a composer of operas, but during the reign of the three Habsburg emperors, he wrote one oratorio every year between 1701 and 1711 for performance in Holy Week at the Holy Sepulcher. This is where the name sepolcro comes from. Performed by the French ensemble Les Traversées Baroques, led by cymbal player Judith Paquier, Ziani's sepolcro will be performed with mezzo-soprano Dagmar Šašková in the role of Víra (La Fede) in the Czech premiere.
