The Hallé Presents: ANNO: Four Seasons by Anna Meredith & Antonio Vivaldi
In their first appearance at Aviva Studios, home of Factory International, the Hallé performs Anna Meredith’s atmospheric ANNO.
Created as a recontextualization of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, this ground-breaking work takes the audience through a whole calendar year in just one hour of continuous music. Elegantly fusing fragments of Vivaldi with her own characteristic electronic music, Anna Meredith creates a striking reimagining of the classic work.
ANNO is an intensely immersive production, and deliberately so: the only light will be that emitted by the tablets from which the players read their score, and from the projected images of vivid animated visuals provided by the composer’s sister, Eleanor Meredith. What results is a transformational experience for the eyes and ears, merging old with new in a stunning portrayal of the passage of time.
PLEASE NOTE: Tickets for this event should be purchased through Factory International.

The Arts Desk
“Roberto Ruisi brings formidable technical virtuosity to his role as well as the kind of sweetness and lyricism which now distinguish the orchestra's strings as a whole.”
