Madrigal on the “Săptămâna Patimilor” National Tour

From 13 to 16 April 2022, Corul Național de Cameră „Madrigal – Marin Constantin” presents its first National Easter Tour, „Săptămâna Patimilor”, coordinated by conductors Anna Ungureanu and Cezar Verlan. The project will visit Arad on 13 April, at Filarmonca din Arad; Timișoara on 14 April, at Teatrul Național „Mihai Eminescu”; Alba Iulia on 15 April, at Casa de Cultură a Sindicatelor; and Cluj-Napoca on 16 April, at Teatrul Maghiar de Stat.

Through the repertoire specially chosen by Corul Madrigal’s Principal Conductor Anna Ungureanu, audiences are invited on a journey in sound in the lead-up to Easter. The programme includes both classical and modern religious works, sensitively illuminating the Saviour’s journey in the days before the Resurrection. 

Corul Madrigal will perform both Romanian premieres and some of the best-loved works for this period, including selected excerpts from „Prohodul Domnului”, arranged by Nicolae Lungu; „Florilegiu bizantin”, assembled by Marin Constantin; and „Credo” from „Missa în do minor” (K427) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The moving experience will be enriched by the artistic contributions of young actors Corneliu Ulici and Pavel Ulici, who will develop the performances’ dramatic thread with sacred texts emblematic of Holy Week. Children’s choirs active in the Cantus Mundi National Programme will also join Corul Madrigal in the tour’s four cities. The special performance „Săptămâna Patimilor” also features striking sets and lighting direction devised especially to amplify the music’s emotion.

The stage direction and script for the special Easter performance „Săptămâna Patimilor” are by Emil Pantelimon, with musical direction by Anna Ungureanu and set design by Vladimir Turturica.
