    MAURO PETER … a dreamy song recital and a flawless, multi-faceted performance – thus Mauro Peter’s perfor- mance at the 2019 Salzburg Festival, according to the Salzburger Nachrichten. This expressive fascination has won him enthusiastic audiences since his spectacular debut at the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg in 2012. Ever since, he has appeared on concert and opera stages everywhere in Europe. The Swiss tenor begins the 2020/21 season with a song recital at the internationally renowned Lucerne Festival. Mauro Peter’s opera season starts with his role debut as Nemorino in Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore at the Zurich Opera House, where he has been an ensemble member since 2013, celebrating major success, most recently in Zender’s Winterreise and in the title role of Handel’s Belshazzar. Another highlight of the season is his December debut at the Teatro Real in Madrid, where he sings Don Ottavio in Mozart’s Don Giovanni. He will also embody this role at the 2021 Mozart Week in Salzburg. Furthermore, Mauro Peter will perform Schubert’s cycle Schwanengesang for the first time at Vien- na’s Konzerthaus and at the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg in June. In addition, he will make his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic under the baton of Kirill Petrenko, appearing in the orchestra’s Europe Day Concert in 2021. Mauro Peter has celebrated international operatic success performing Wolfgang Amadeus Mo- zart’s music. Roles such as Belmonte, Ferrando, Don Ottavio and Tamino have taken him to the Canadian Opera Company in Toronto, the Bavarian State Opera, the Opéra de Lyon, the Opéra national de Paris, the Royal Opera House in London, the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, the Theater an der Wien, the Zurich Opera House and the Salzburg Festival.

  • Wigmore Hall Summer Brochure 2015
    !"# APRIL – JULY 2015 Welcome Keith Saunders John Butt and the Dunedin Consort shed fresh light on Bach’s St John Passion in their revelatory recording, hailed by Gramophone for its ‘naturalness and emotional honesty’. They bring their vision of the work to Wigmore Hall for a special Holy Week performance, projecting the vivid drama of Christ’s betrayal and suffering, and the profound humanity of Bach’s response to it. Andreas Scholl has inspired countless new listeners to fall in love with lesser-known works. His artistry reveals the timeless qualities of great music from the distant past, restoring the rhetorical power and emotional impact of pieces conceived for star performers of eighteenth-century Europe. Scholl’s latest Wigmore Hall programme explores the vitality of Italian cantatas by three masters of the genre and frames their work with the seductive songs of Venetian gondoliers. Formed 70 years ago, soon after the Second World War, the Borodin Quartet has become synonymous with the works of Shostakovich and Beethoven. The ensemble’s latest Wigmore Hall series offers a complete cycle of the two composers’ string quartets, works deeply inscribed in the group’s collective DNA. Our season-long Paul Lewis: A Celebration continues when the much-loved English pianist partners Allan Clayton in a work of timeless musical beauty and artistic truth. Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin, which was first performed at Wigmore Hall in 1903, explores a young man’s love, despair, contemplation of death and ultimate recognition of impermanence. Benjamin Ealovega Body and soul are united in Martin Fröst’s intensely focused approach Philippe Herreweghe and his Collegium Vocale Gent became pioneers of to making music.
