Baroque Glow in UNESCO World Heritage: Christophe Dumaux Brings Handel to Life
On September 5, 2026, the Markgräfliches Opernhaus Bayreuth transforms into a stage full of baroque elegance, virtuosic coloraturas, and great emotions. Handel's Nature is part of the Bayreuth Baroque Opera Festival and unites the French countertenor Christophe Dumaux with Les Accents under the direction of Thibault Noally. The program features selected favorite arias by Georg Friedrich Handel – music that hits the heart with brilliance, drama, and finely shaded expressiveness.

An Evening for Connoisseurs and New Discoverers
Christophe Dumaux is considered one of the most distinguished countertenors of his generation. His career has taken him to the great houses and festivals of the early music scene; he gained international attention early on with Handel roles, later followed by productions at renowned opera stages and in highly regarded baroque projects. The combination of technical brilliance, buoyant breath control, and dramatic presence makes his stage performance a concert experience that goes far beyond mere vocal acrobatics.

Handel in His Most Beautiful Form
The program focuses entirely on the expressive world of the Halle master: arias full of passion, tenderness, and operatic pathos. Especially in the baroque original sound, orchestration, affections, and contrasts unfold with particular force. Les Accents and Thibault Noally impart to the evening the stylistic precision that makes Handel's music feel so immediate and vibrant.
