Immerse yourself in the spellbinding trailer for the DIVINA COMMEDIA FESTIVAL, commemorating the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri. Originally streamed two years ago from May 29th, 2021, this three-part online festival unfolded in the underground Moritzbastei, Leipzig, Germany.

Experience a poignant journey through "Inferno," "Purgatory," and "Paradiso" as musicians of the Gewandhausorchester weave expressive chamber music by Shostakovich, Kurtág, Ligeti, Hindemith, and Brahms. Actress and musician Rebecca Viora brings Dante's original Italian text to life, creating a seamless fusion of poetry and melody.

Adding a visual dimension, artist Tilo Baumgärtel's video installation, inspired by William Blake's illustrations, enhances the emotional depth of the performances. Explore the symbiosis of music, recitation, and visual art in this unique celebration, where each one-hour concert is a profound exploration of Dante's masterpiece.
