Viva Musica! Festival was established in 2005 with the aim of creating a summer festival with a significant artistic offering. It brings audiences the best of classical music, jazz and music from all over the world at an open-air venue in Bratislava’s historic centre. AC/E is collaborating in this year’s festival through the mobility grants awarded under the PICE by supporting the participation of the outstanding Spanish counter-tenor Xavier Sabata.
Xavier Sabata performs music from a revolutionary angle, accompanied by the Baroque group Il Pomo d´Oro conducted by Riccardo Minasi. The project Händel: Bad Guys (premiered on CD in 2013) is dedicated to the ‘bad guys’ in the operas of Baroque composer Georg Friedrich Händel, and is combined with tears, joy, fury and exceptional vocal discoveries.
Xabier Sabata was born in Barcelona (1976) and has performed in many prestigious theatres, auditoriums and festivals all over the world throughout his career. He has cooperated with leading artists and orchestra conductors and has made several recordings for Decca, Sony, Aparte and Virgin Classics; he will be making his debut at the Viva Musica! Festival in Bratislava on 25 June 2014.
