The Sopranos bring baroque brilliance to Bayreuth: Concert at the Markgräfliches Opernhaus

Three Sopranists, a baroque exceptional concert in Bayreuth

When Federico Fiorio, Maayan Licht and Dennis Orellana perform on September 11, 2026, at the Markgräfliches Opernhaus Bayreuth, a usual concert evening does not occur, but rather a baroque event with rare brilliance. Under the title The Sopranos, three extraordinary sopranists meet Jarosław Thiel and the Wrocław Baroque Orchestra – in one of the most beautiful opera houses in Europe.

Baroque virtuosity at the highest level

The program leads into a sound world where voices, affects, and ornamentation clash directly. Works by Georg Friedrich Händel, Antonio Vivaldi, Nicola Antonio Porpora, Leonardo Leo, and Leonardo Vinci form the core of this concert. The artists celebrate that high art of singing for which the baroque is famous: precise coloraturas, flowing lines, dramatic phrasing, and a technical brilliance that carries even the most demanding arias with ease.

A stage for great emotions

In the Markgräfliches Opernhaus Bayreuth, this music unfolds with special effect. The UNESCO World Heritage site is known for its intimate acoustics and its splendid historical atmosphere. Here, the audience's mood receives that special tension that makes a concert experience unforgettable: fine dynamics, clear transparency, and the closeness between stage and hall make every nuanced orchestration resonate immediately.

Three artists, three profiles, a common pull

Maayan Licht is considered one of the most distinctive young voices in the international opera scene and was awarded the Oper! Award as Best Newcomer in 2025. Dennis Orellana represents a strongly profilated career in the international Baroque and concert field and has already appeared at the Salzburg Festival and in Bayreuth. Federico Fiorio complements the trio with stylistic elegance and a voice that emphasizes maximum agility and expression in the baroque sound language. Together, they create a stage full of tension, contrast, and vocal elegance.

Bayreuth as an ideal backdrop

The early evening timing, the historical venue, and the curated signature of the Bayreuth Baroque Opera Festival make this performance a must-see for lovers of early music interpretation, opera culture, and extraordinary live moments. The combination of great tradition and vibrant present gives the concert a radiance that extends far beyond Bayreuth.

Conclusion

The Sopranos promises an evening full of vocal precision, baroque highlights, and genuine stage magic. Anyone who wants to experience great voices, historical architecture, and a concert with international format should secure this date at the Markgräfliches Opernhaus and be there live.
