Europa Galante has performed in many of the world's major concert halls and theatres: La Scala in Milan, the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Royal Albert Hall in London, the Musikverein in Vienna, the Lincoln Center in New York and the Sydney Opera House. The ensemble has toured throughout Australia, Japan, Canada, Israel, USA and South America
Europa Galante's repertoire ranges from the operas of Handel and Vivaldi (Bazajet), through to the great instrumental works of the eighteenth Century, keeping a particular interest on A.Scarlatti’s Works such as the oratorios (Maddalena, La Santissima Trinità), Seneratas (Clori, Dorino e Amore) and the operas like Massimo Puppieno, Il Trionfo dell'Onore, La Principessa Fedele and Carlo Re d'Allemagna.
Europa Galante often collaborates with the Fondazione Santa Cecilia in Rome to rediscover and restore eighteenth-century Italian operas such as Antonio Caldara's La Passione di Gesù Cristo, L. Leo's Sant'Elena al Calvario, or Gesu sotto il peso Della Croce of F.di Mayo.
In 2009, Europa Galante will commence the Santa Cecilia’s concert season with the Oratorio of A. Scarlatti “La Santissima Annunziata”.
The ensemble has a varying structure and often performs chamber music such as the string sonatas of Italian composers of the seventeenth century.
In 1998, after years of collaboration with the French record company Opus 111, Europa Galante signed an exclusive contract with Virgin Classics which came to the release of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and 2 volumes of Luigi Boccherini's string quintets as well as arias from cantatas by J.S. Bach with Ian Bostridge.
The ensemble has been nominated twice for Grammy Awards – in 2004 for its disc of Vivaldi's Concerti con molti strumenti and in 2006 for its recording of Vivaldi’s Bajazet.
Next recording projects include Vivaldi arias with Vivica Genaux and a Vivaldi compilation "La Stravaganza ".
After the criticially acclaimed Bajazet, their next opera project is Vivaldi’s Ercole sul Termodonte, with an amazing cast (Genaux, di Donato, Damrau, Lehtipuu, Basso).
The next season, Europa Galante is performing in Europe extensively, amongst others in France (Théâtre de la Ville, Theatre des Champs Elysees), Italy (Rome), Spain, Poland (Krakow Festival), The Netherlands (Amsterdam).
In 2010 Europa Galante will go to the U.S for a long tour and will perform in many important halls presenting “the 3 tenors”, an aria’s program with the tenor Ian Bostridge. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
