Third Practice – Tero Saarinen‘s new magnum opus explores radical shifts in values and perspectives. Claudio Monteverdi‘s revolutionary, breathtakingly beautiful madrigals are incarnated by twelve dancers and musicians, plus tenor Topi Lehtipuu and virtual soprano Núria Rial. TSC and Helsinki Baroque Orchestra join forces to create a gripping contemporary fusion of dance, live music, opera and design.
