ITALIAN BAROQUE WITH CIRCA

“Music and movement; pride and passion”
“A must-see combination of vibrant music & death-defying acrobatics” ABC Classics

The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra takes you on a rollicking ride through Italy’s multilayered past with a new daring choreography from Circa’s energetic acrobats.

Florence, Naples, Venice and Rome. Four remarkable cities, each with its own proud people, distinctive histories and architecture, and famous cast of scheming Caesars and plotting princes. In its fourth collaboration with Brisbane’s Circa Contemporary Circus, The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra will take you on a rollicking ride through Italy’s multi-layered past, fuelled by the vivacious Brandenburg string orchestra performing a kaleidoscopic Paul Dyer pasticcio on period instruments.

The crumbling columns of the Roman Forum and Dante’s flourishing Florence will emerge in daring new choreography that weaves the music of Vivaldi, Corelli and Brescianello into a sensual, surprising, and passionate experience, a show that dances to its own unique tune.

Presented by Australian Brandenberg Orchestra in association with Sydney Festival.
