The Glass Hall Theatre in Tivoli 22. august
Andreas Scholl – musical storytelling with Bach
Book tickets

Andreas Scholl - Musical storytelling with Bach.
The world’s most celebrated countertenor, Andreas Scholl, brings his artistry to Tivoli Gardens with a programme that reflects the full breadth of his artistic life. He has appeared in leading roles on the world’s greatest stages, from the Metropolitan Opera to the Salzburg Festival and Glyndebourne, and is a regular guest with the foremost orchestras of our time, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the New York Philharmonic and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Beyond his truly unique voice – resonating in the same register as the legendary castrati of the Baroque era – Scholl is also a relentlessly inventive artist.
Scholl draws inspiration from an unusually wide musical spectrum, from medieval repertoire to Pet Shop Boys. He composes film music, is a devoted sound enthusiast, and has even built a fully professional recording studio in an old wine cellar in his hometown. It is here that he develops new and exploratory concert formats together with his wife, pianist and harpsichordist Tamar Halperin.
| Information | |
| Place | The Glass Hall Theatre, Tivoli |
| Date | August 22 at 19:30 |
| Tickets | 210 - 295 kr Tivoli entrance included and service fee included |
| Credits | |
| Andreas Scholl, countertenor | |
| Tamar Halperin, piano / harpsichord | |
| Programme | |
Works by Johann Sebastian Bach and traditional English folk songs. | |
| Collaboration | |
The concert is presented in collaboration with Tivoli Copenhagen Phil Se festivalens øvrige støttegivere her | |
This evening, the two appears on stage together with a striking new concert concept that pairs Johann Sebastian Bach's ravishing arias with traditional English folk songs
The pieces are presented in thematic pairs, opening up a rich world of storytelling across genres and centuries. To underline their playful and imaginative approach, the programme is interwoven with movements from jazz icon Chick Corea’s pure-hearted Children’s Songs.
Good music knows no boundaries—of time, place or genre—and there could be no finer embodiment of that truth than a singer whose crystal-clear countertenor voice brings music together across centuries and traditions. A truly magical evening awaits in Tivoli Gardens.
The concert is presented in collaboration with Tivoli Copenhagen Phil.
