Rekonstrukcje oper barokowych – blaski, cienie, dylematy – Antonio Vivaldi – Farnace

Reconstructing Baroque operas -the pros and cons, dilemmas – Antonio Vivaldi – Farnace. Is it enough to find a manuscript to perform the Baroque opera? Where to find Vivaldi’s manuscripts and what do we have to know to prepare a performing score? What to do if we have several versions of the manuscript? What do we know about Vivaldi’s singers and how they affected his music? What was the way of Giordano-Foa collection? Preparing the performing score of Warsaw premiere of Vivaldi’s Farnace in 2017 I was trying to reply to all these questions and in this article I show the way of thinking behind our reconstruction.
