Hervé Niquet has changed the world of baroque interpretation. Now the conductor and harpsichordist is coming to the INTERNATIONAL HÄNDEL FESTIVAL for the first time. His program contrasts the sound worlds of the English and French courts. The HÄNDEL-FESTSPIELE are thus continuing their series of important baroque conductors of our time. Previous editions have featured trailblazers such as Federico Maria Sardelli, Christian Curnyn and Rinaldo Alessandrini.
