Vò solcando un mar crudele | opera Artaserse
With his very first recording American countertenor Bejun Mehta provoked an uproar. His "precocious musical maturity" won for him at the age of fifteen the title Debut Artist of the Year. At this same age Mozart, upon commission from the Teatro Ducale in Milan, composed the opera Ascanio in Alba. Although he never achieved his dream of a permanent engagement in Italy, his music of that period sparkles with a joy-filled intoxication. And with this same intoxication, Collegium 1704 too will immerse itself in the splendour of the Italian sun alongside charismatic star Bejun Mehta, who among contemporary countertenors has no peer.

Sara Mingardo with her captivating voice first won over the Czech public in the initial season of the Stars of Baroque Opera. This time she will venture out on the twisting path of the labyrinth of the soul, a path of inward self-knowledge, with the aid of the masters of the Italian Baroque.
Sara Mingardo, an artist of extraordinary expressivity and intelligence, will with her artistry, illuminate even the darkest nooks of the labyrinth of the human psyche.

MAGNIFICAT| Christmas concert
Collegium 1704 & Collegium Vocale 1704
Václav Luks | conductor
J. S. BACH Magnificat in D BWV 243
J. D. ZELENKA Missa Divi Xaverii ZWV 12(Czech premiere)
The first performance of a work which has for centuries lain in some dusty archive is always a cause for great celebration. And when we are dealing with a major composer whose known works have already been researched in detail, such an event arouses expectations many times greater. Collegium 1704 shall offer the public Zelenka’s festive Missa Divi Xaverii in counterpoint to Bach’s festive Magnificat.
24.2.2015 19:30 (Tue)
W. A. Mozart | GREAT MASS IN C MINOR
Collegium 1704 & Collegium Vocale 1704
Václav Luks | conductor
W. A. MOZART
Symphony No. 40 G minor KV 550
Great Mass in C minor KV 427
Mozart’s most extensive mass composition is marked by a fate similar to that of his famous Requiem. His Great Mass has also remained as an unfinished torso, and the circumstances of its composition and first performance are similarly shrouded in mystery. Even without the missing conclusion, this extremely personal work of Mozart’s has gone down in the history of sacred music as one of the most powerful musical settings of the mass text.

J. S. Bach| MASS IN B MINOR
Collegium 1704 & Collegium Vocale 1704
Václav Luks | conductor
Johann Sebastian BACH Mass in B Minor BWV 232
EASTER CONCERT
Concert to mark the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Collegium 1704 orchestra and the Collegium Vocale 1704 vocal ensemble
Its very first publisher, Hans-Georg Nägeli, already termed this mass "the greatest musical masterpiece of all times and nations." The unsurpassed quality of this colossal work has fascinated musicians and concert-goers for more than 250 years. But this same boundless respect as well as performance traditions handed down from the times of Romanticism have functioned as blinders, preventing us from seeing the mass without bias or preconceptions.
Even if it is impossible to discover any universal truth about how to perform it, Collegium 1704 will look in on this brilliant work without fear although still with humility and try to show its magnificently vivid colours without the accumulated patina of interpretive tradition.
28.4.2015 19:30 (Tue)
Sandrine PIAU| soprano
Collegium 1704
Václav LUKS | conductor
A VISIT WITH THE SUN KING
Scenes from operas by
Jean-Baptiste LULLY Armide
Jean-Philippe RAMEAU
Les Indes galantes
Castor et Pollux
Marin MARAIS Suite de Alcione
Sandrine Piau is one of those artists whose intelligence and aesthetic discernment have predestined them to the refined music of French opera. The colourful music of Lully and his successors is permeated with the nobility, joy, and royal magnificence that sprouted up from the soil of courtly culture in the court of Louis XIV.
The charm and artistry of Sandrine Piau will transform the Rudolfinum into the French kings’ palace at Versailles!
