Stadttheater Solothurn before reopening
After more than a year and a half, the renovated Stadttheater Solothurn will reopen in a few weeks. It will open with the premiere of Purcell's semi-opera "King Arthur" and a Mozart gala.
Under the direction of Swiss conductor Matthias Bamert, the Sinfonie Orchester Biel Solothurn aims to prove that the newly opened Stadttheater Solothurn is also suitable as a concert venue. With pianist Claire Huangci and singer Marie-Claude Chappuis, a Mozart gala concert on February 1 will be the grand finale of the inauguration celebrations.
The semi-opera "King Arthur" by Henry Purcell and John Dryden combines drama, music theater and dance. The large-scale project is directed by TOBS theater director Katharina Rupp and the Italian conductor Marco Zambelli. Almost two dozen solo artists from musical theater, drama and dance, the choir of TOBS (Theater Orchester Biel Solothurn) and the Symphony Orchestra Biel Solothurn will transform the stages in Solothurn and Biel into the Britain of legend and chivalry.
