Concert Croissant #1
“… And now for something slightly different.” This Monty Python phrase is emblazoned across ECHO Rising Star Camila Mandillo’s programme. The Portuguese soprano takes to the stage with a smile. Over four centuries of music, composers have turned to humour, irony and wit. Not to distract from seriousness, but as a way of confronting life’s complexities. From sly parody to theatrical exaggeration, from playful mischief to biting absurdity: laughter has always had a place on the concert stage. Surprises, transformations and contrasts guide the listener through a kaleidoscope of styles, from Monteverdi and Rossini to Berio, Satie, Ligeti and more. Bushra El-Turk has written a new work, especially for Mandillo.
