This year’s central work for the La Pellegrina Baroque Summer School is Purcell's semi-opera King Arthur. King Arthur will be performed ‘semi-staged’ in the Vokův sál, Bechyně castle's splendid historic hall. King Arthur is about the early history of the British Empire, namely the kings Arthur and Oswald vying for the Grail. In the famous stammer aria cold Oswald melts for the beautiful Emmeline, the guardian of the Grail. When she makes clear that her heart already belongs to King Arthur, Oswald decides to abduct her.

Cette collerette appelée fraise (ainsi nommée à cause de sa ressemblance avec le viscère: fraise de veau) témoigne de la volonté de plaire par l’excès du raffinement vestimentaire du XVIème siècle. D’autre part, comment ne pas évoquer « Le jardin des Délices » connu également sous le nom de « Tableau des Fraises » décor où l’art de la nature et le bonheur sont maîtres ?...
Accademia Amsterdam is inspired by an Italian institution flourishing in the 17th and 18th centuries, where people gathered to make music and discuss wide-ranging subjects. Accademia Amsterdam follows this tradition in as much as the musicians work together to reach a clear interpretation of the music. The main aim of playing concerts is to give pleasure to the audience. This is achieved through the “Speaking Style”, which has its roots in Rhetoric.

So wie Cesare Negri war er ein ausgezeichneter Geiger. Ob er tanzte wie Negri ist nicht bekannt. Er begann seine Karriere als Musiker am Hofe der Gonzaga`s in Mantua, wo er sicher auch Monteverdi begegnete, und später arbeitete er in Dresden und Bonn. In Dresden veröffentlichte er 5 Bücher mit Tanzmusik wie z.B. Gailliarden, Maskeraden u.a.. Im Mittelpunkt des Kurses steht sein „Capriccio Stravagante“ worin er meisterhafte Tanzmelodien kombiniert mit lustigen Imitationen mit gackernden Hühnern, kläffenden Hunden oder fechtenden Katzen andeutet.
