?I was invited to sing the main role in Innsbruck this year because I won the main award and the audience award at last year?s Cesti singing competition,? Baráth said.
She added that Tehila Nini, who was the runner-up in the Cesti contest, would sing Nerone.
Baráth came to Innsbruck for rehearsals from the Verbier Festival, in Switzerland, where she sang Barbarina in The Marriage of Figaro.
Baráth will sing the role of Poppea, the mistress of the Roman emperor Nero who schemed to be crowned empress, in the courtyard of the Innsbruck University Department of Theology.
The staging by Jakob Peters-Messer is modern, simple and not at all pretentious, Baráth said. ?It places the emphasis on political intrigue rather than on the victory of love,? she added.
Peters-Messer has staged many Baroque operas in the past, including works by Telemann, Mazzocchis and Händel, but this will be his debut in Innsbruck.
Baráth trained in voice and harp at the Saint Stephen the King Music Secondary School in Budapest and graduated form the Liszt Academy of Music, after studying under Júlia Pászthy. She spent a year in Florence, studying with Leonardi De Lisi, and participated at master courses with Deborah York in Gmunden and Ricard Bordas in Boston.
