Festival Resonanzen »Die Planeten«

Presented by Wiener Konzerthausgesellschaft

Venus: Cupid's Tellings

At the center of their »Resonanzen« guest performance, the two singers Penelope Appleyard and Lucinda Cox place Cupid, who entertains us with stories about his beloved mother Venus. His stories reveal parallels between the planet and the goddess Venus. For example, they are both superficially beautiful and seductive, but in reality the atmosphere is inhospitable and dangerous. The two singers explore states of mind and soul in which love is put to the test. The duo touch on realms of dreams, grief and loss, unrequited love, pure ecstasy and sheer madness. What hope do we mere mortals have when we fall into the gravitational field of Venus and Cupid?
