This multimedia mega project presents a timeless blend of artistic performance of 16 prominent musicians of different styles. They will perform Vivaldi’s classical works based on the Baroque.
According to Suzana Vrencovska, director of Ohrid Summer Festival, it is about unprecedented audio and video equipment that will be set on the stage of the Antique Theater, and in general, at the Ohrid Summer Festival. According to her, the priority of this institution is the housework, the respect of the festival tradition, but also the bringing of projects that will leave a strong impression on the audience.
