Giovanni Battista Pergolesi: Stabat Mater – danced interpretation.
A captivating fusion of music, voice, and dance: in an intimate setting, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi’s renowned sacred composition Stabat Mater is reimagined as a performative concert. Choreographer and dancer Sabrina Fraternali, soprano Marika Rainer, countertenor Fritz Spengler, musician Michéle Schladebach (keyboard instruments), and Danilo Abiti (soundscape) come together to create a deeply emotional experience through their shared artistic expression.
The Stabat Mater is the most famous sacred work by Italian composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, written in 1736 just weeks before his death at the young age of 26. Moved by personal experiences of loss, the performers collectively explore this profound theme, creating an emotional space where voice, dance, and music enter into dialogue.
