Raffaele Pe has more than one string to his bow. The superb Italian countertenor is also the artistic director of a baroque ensemble that brings together experienced musicians and musicologists, La Lira di Orfeo.

After a European tour that took them to London and Bologna in October 2024, they will return to their all-Vivaldi program in Florence in November and then in Vilnius in December. Alongside the “Red Priest’s” cantatas, opera will also be in the spotlight during two exceptional performances of Rodelinda, one of Handel’s masterpieces.

Surrounded by Karina Gauvin and Giuseppina Bridelli, among others, Raffaele Pe (in the role of Bertarido and as conductor) is invited to perform at Vienna’s Theater an der Wien on November 18, 2024, and in Rome at the Parco della Musica on November 22, 2024. Vienna will welcome the countertenor again in May 2025 for a highly anticipated performance of Ambleto, a virtuosic opera by Francesco Gasparini, staged by Ilaria Lanzino.
