Acclaimed for her “light and luster” and “wonder¬ful agility and silvery top notes,” (Opera News) Amanda Forsythe is recognized internationally as a leading interpreter of baroque and classical rep-ertoire. She is showcased here in a dazzling array of arias. In Vienna in the days of Mozart and Haydn, strictness of form, and economical use of orchestral forces were some hallmarks of style – and they were echoed in Vienna 150 years later. Join Forsythe and Maestro Kluxen to discover these connections through the ages.
