Work in progress: Tero Saarinen: Third Practice (video 3)

Tero Saarinen Company and Helsinki Baroque Orchestra are joining forces to create a gripping contemporary fusion of dance, live music, opera and design. World-renowned choreographer Tero Saarinen’s new magnum opus explores radical shifts in values and perspectives. Claudio Monteverdi’s revolutionary, breathtakingly beautiful madrigals are brilliantly incarnated by twelve dancers, plus tenor Topi Lehtipuu and virtual soprano Núria Rial. HeBO Artistic Director Aapo Häkkinen will arrange and direct the music. The international co-production will receive its world premiere in Cremona, Italy at Teatro Amilcare Ponchielli, Rassegna di Danza & Festival Monteverdi, on 29 May 2019. Finnish premiere is at Kuopio Dance Festival 17 - 18 June.
