Festival Castell de Peralada - Easter edition 2023

The mediaeval Castell de Peralada is the setting for the Castell de Peralada Festival during the months of July and August. Set in the Castle Park gardens, the Auditorium is the ideal venue for concerts on a summer night. The Church and the Cloister, by contrast, hosts recitals, chamber concerts and small-format operas. History and prestige identify the Festival which, both for its artistic events and for the exceptional nature of the setting in which it is staged, place this mediaeval town at the cultural and leisure heart of the summer nights of the Costa Brava.

Programme

Overview

With a meteoric career and important debuts in large arenas the world over, the young tenor will come for the first time to the Peralada festival along with Audrey Saint-Giles on the piano to interpret a lyrical recital of arias and songs specially put together for the occasion, giving us the chance to discover this rising star of the international singing panorama.

With a splendid voice and talent that follows in the wake of the finest Italian tenors, the 29-year-old British-Italian Freddie De Tommaso became notorious upon winning the First Prize of the Plácido Domingo Award to Best Tenor and the Verdi Award of the 2018 Tenor Viñas Contest. In December 2021, he made another splash when he played Cavaradossi in the Tosca production of the Royal Opera, thus becaming one of the youngest tenors of all time to play this role on such an iconic stage and the first British one to do so since 1963. De Tommaso, who had to take on the role at the eleventh hour, when the programme's original tenor didn't feel well during the first of the three acts, led the press to unanimously declare that they had just witnessed the birth of a great career. An exclusive artist of Decca Classics and the first tenor to sign a contract with this label since Jonas Kaufmann, his debut album Passione shot up to the top of the classical music charts and he has recently won the BBC Music Magazine's Best Debut Award. In June 2022, his second album, Il Tenore, also leapt straight to the top of the charts right after its release, while the version of Nessum Dorma that appears on the album was downloaded more than a million times.

Peralada Castle stands in the heart of the Empordà region, close to such spectacular natural beauty spots as the Costa Brava. Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, it is one of the architectural, historical and cultural jewels of Catalonia.

Peralada Castle is part of Peralada Resort, a legacy erected since 1923 thanks to the passion and love of the Suqué Mateu family.

The Castle is a 14th century medieval fortress flanked by two imposing towers and surrounded by 8 hectares of magical gardens, including the Michelin-starred Castell Peralada Restaurant, the Shiro Restaurant by Paco Pérez, a world of leisure activities inside the Casino and all the culture of the Castell de Peralada Museum.

During the summer months the Castle becomes the perfect setting for the Castell de Peralada Festival. What completes the Peralada experience is the 5* Hotel Peralada where you can enjoy peace and quiet; and the new Perelada Winery, designed not only to produce high quality wines, but also to bring the legacy and dream of the family closer to all those who visit it.
