Anna Amalia Library

Cyndia Sieden joins Concerto Köln for a rare production of
Anton Schweitzer’s Alceste as part of the
celebrations for the re-opening of the Anna Amalia library in
Weimar which was badly damaged by fire in 2004. She will add the
high coloratura role of Parthenia to her repertoire with
performances at the Residenzschloss Weimar on October 23, 24,
27 & 28. The opera, with a libretto bt Christoph Martin
Wieland, was first performed in Weimar in 1773. This production
by Henrik Müller is conducted by Michael Hofstetter and
the work will be recorded for future release.

Walt Disney Concert Hall

Cyndia Sieden will leap forward in the repertory for performances
of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Wing on Wing with the
composer conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra for
performances on November 1 at The Barbican, London and November
6 in Paris at the Salle Pleyel. Wing on Wing was
composed for the inauguration of the Walt Disney Concert Hall
where it received its première in 2004.
“New concert halls deserve new music, for they
are both expressions of the spirit of their time.”
