Federico Maria Sardelli live in Vienna

Experience Federico Maria Sardelli live on February 1st

Federico Maria Sardelli, a contemporary Italian composer and conductor, is known for his work reviving and performing forgotten Baroque operas, alongside composing new pieces deeply rooted in historical performance practice. His style blends rigorous scholarship with a vibrant, expressive musicality, often focusing on rediscovering dramatic nuances within the conventions of the 17th and 18th centuries. He frequently directs ensembles from the harpsichord or organ.

The performance on February 1st, 2027 at Theater an der Wien – Hölle takes place within a venue possessing a unique history. “Hölle” (Hell) originally functioned as a separate theatre built in 1908 by the architect Robert Schweiger as a smaller, more intimate alternative to the main Theater an der Wien building. It was intended for operettas and Singspiele. Over time, it served various purposes including film screenings and a rehearsal space.

In recent years, the Hölle has been re-established as an independent performance space within the Theater an der Wien complex, focusing on smaller-scale opera productions, contemporary works, and experimental projects.
