Hathor Consort & Dorothee Mields & Hana Blažíková

Hathor Consort & Dorothee Mields & Hana Blažíková

In Venice in 1650, Barbara Strozzi defied all conventions. The virtuoso singer fought her way to a successful career as a composer without financial support. Her secret weapon: sublime songs that she published herself. In 2025, Strozzi is known as one of the most talented and productive creators of her time. Hathor Consort paints her portrait with the magnificent soprano voices of Dorothee Mields and Hana Blažíková.
