Maestro David Stern is in China once again for his Baroque opera show "Serse", which is being performed here for the first time tonight.
And Stern explains the feature of Baroque music.
"So the talking is the story, and the singing is the emotion. And in Baroque music, you always have important contrasts. So in an aria, the singer will start talking about love and then the second part will talk about sadness. It's like Baroque architecture: everything is really well-placed so that you can see the difference between a strong affection, a strong emotion, a weak emotion, sadness, anger and everything is very clearly lined up."
According to Stern, their show is for the commemoration of the German-English Baroque composer George Frideric Handel during the ongoing Beijing Music Festival.
