\nVivaldi\u2019s music has fantasy, emotion and temperament \u2013 Italian grandeur. Today the venetian composer is known around the world, his music is played in lifts, performed on opera stages, adapted into techno and rock music, and rehearsed by puristic ensembles or fashionable baroque groups. Vivaldi is hailed everywhere, he has long since become the \u201cpopstar\u201d of classical music, but the man behind the music is still a puzzle. In Vivaldi\u2019s case unlike other legends, namely Mozart and Beethoven, precious little is known about his life. More and more documents have emerged in recent years which shed light on his life. For the first time a prime-time documentary will look at the life of the mysterious \u201cred priest\u201d. The film shows how the son of a humble craftsman could work his way up to the wealthy aristocracy of the venetian republic, detailing his meteoric rise and his sharp fall ending in a pauper\u2019s grave in Vienna. A journey through time into opulent venetian baroque, a view into the manic, genius personality. A story of musical vogues, intrigues, eroticism and the first \u201cRockstar\u201d in music history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
