OPERA OMNIA

BIO

 

Opera Omnia is an early music ensemble that focuses on the recovery of Spanish musical heritage from the Baroque and Classical periods. Under the direction of violinist Isaac M. Pulet, the group has distinguished itself through its bold and distinctive approach, fleeing in its versions from the interpretative clichés of German or Italian music in favor of emphasizing the distinctly Spanish characteristics of the repertoire. As a result of their efforts, Opera Omnia was awarded in 2022 by GEMA (Spanish Association of Early Music Groups) with the prize for Best 18th-Century Music Ensemble and the award for Best Production and Management for the SARAO tour.

This excellence has led them to be invited to the Utrecht Early Music Festival, the most prestigious in its field worldwide. At this venue, they presented Vaya de fiesta, a program that captivated the audience by showcasing the musical prowess of the chapel masters from cathedrals in Mexico City, Puebla, Quito and Sucre. Additionally, Opera Omnia has been invited to some of the most renowned festivals in Spain, including the International Festival of Santander, the Festival International of Arte Sacro of the Comunidad of Madrid, the Semanas de Música Antigua in Estella, Logroño, and Álava, the Festival de Música Española in Cádiz, and the Semana de Música Religiosa de Cuenca. It is at these events that they have showcased their work in recovering Spanish musical heritage, such as their program Amor, no te llame amor, which features a collection of the typically Spanish genre known as “tono humano,” essential in the theatrical works of the Golden Age; Requiem por una dinastía, focusing on the figure of the Maestro of the Royal Chapel Sebastián Durón, with the principal work being the Requiem Mass, likely written to commemorate the death of Carlos II, the last Spanish Habsburg; and SARAO, bringing together the music of two great composers, Juan Francés de Iribarren, master of the chapel of the Cathedral of Málaga, and Diego Pérez de Camino, master of the Chapel of the Cathedral of Santo Domingo de la Calzada.

Opera Omnia is a group committed to the immense Spanish musical heritage, aiming to dust it off and make it shine once again, just as it did in another era.
