Austrian coloratura soprano Ilia Staple takes advantage of the renewal of cultural life to demonstrate her versatility both as a singer and as an actress: Interspersed with her performances as Franziska Cagliari in Johann Strauss’ “Wiener Blut”, she sings the soprano part in “Amor’s Fest”, billed as a “baroque spectacle with song and dance”, assembled and adapted by Howard Arman who also is at the rostrum. Oh, and in addition to those two demanding parts, Ms Staple also will delight her audience in one of her favorite roles, the Queen of the Night in Mozart’s “The Magic Flute”.
