Cleopatra revived in fiery Baroque arias
Regula Mühlemann is Cleopatra. With her sparkling voice and impeccable technique, the Swiss soprano embodies Egypt's most iconic queen. Sensual and fearless, alluring and tragic - Mühlemann effortlessly navigates the many facets of Cleopatra.
As one of the most celebrated sopranos of her generation, she feels equally at home on the opera stage and in the concert hall. This evening, she brings opera to life alongside La Folia Barockorchester in a concert setting, with a programme brimming with baroque splendour featuring arias by Handel, Vivaldi, Hasse, and Scarlatti. These composers portrayed Cleopatra as a lover, a ruler, and a loser, and Mühlemann plays her in all her glory and vulnerability.
Following her internationally acclaimed album Cleopatra - Baroque Arias, she now presents this music live at DE SINGEL. Not in a historical reconstruction, but in a performance filled with fire, drama, and virtuosity - where not one, but two queens shine on stage.
