PENELOPE 2025 invites all generations to immerse themselves in an ancient-baroque-modern world brimming with passion, puzzles, comical confusion, and fantastical magic. Drawing on the ancient Odyssey, the story of Penelope and Odysseus's long-distance relationship was brought to life for Carnival 1724 by the brilliant Viennese duo Pietro Pariati (libretto) and Francesco Bartolomeo Conti (music), who were active at the Viennese court. The performance explored timeless values ​​and featured captivating music. Students from the GMPU and the Conservatorio in Venice, under the direction of Klaus Kuchling, will revive this work – prepare to be enchanted, moved, thought-provoking, and laughing!
