"Harnoncourt on top form" 4 star rating Financial Times
"The acting from these singers is of a quality seen all too rarely in the opera house: acrobatic, credible, and always witty."
Kurier (Vienna)
An ideal constellation: 2009 marked Haydn's anniversary year as well as Nikolaus Harnoncourt's 80th birthday. For this occasion the maestro chose Il mondo della luna, a delicious mixture of satire. comedy and science fiction based on a popular comedy by Carlo Goldoni, Hayda's music unleashes a display of fireworks performed with irresistible energy by Harnoncourt and his ensemble. Renowned actor and director Tobias Moretti relates the story as a magical fairy tale infused with slapstick and fantasy costumes. "The piece is extreme, completely insane and very funny. Wherever you puncture the surface of Haydn, you come upon sheer madness." -Nikolaus Harnoncourt
