John Eliot Gardiner will make Salzburg return
NewsOne of the first events in next summer’s festival will be Handel’s ‘Israel in Egypt’ conducted by Sir John Eliot Gardiner, who has withdrawn from all engagements for several months after an incident last summer in Berlioz’s Les Troyens.
Gardiner will conduct the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists in a single performance of the oratorio. No soloists have yet been named.
We understand that Gardiner, 80, intends to return to international action rather sooner, in April or May 2024.
