“After 14 years of directing the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music, a wonderful journey has come full circle for me. In 2010, in my first year as artistic director, Pergolesi’s ‘Olimpiade’ was on the programme. This year it will be Antonio Vivaldi’s ‘Olimpiade’ with which we will open the festival on 4 August. Vivaldi and his birthplace Venice run through the programme like a thread.”
