Italien, organ in the Teatro Olimpico Wanderer-Orgel
Organs are unique – that is well known. The Wanderer organ by concert organist Paolo Oreni is something even more special: It is the first transportable concert organ! Transportable chest organs or even digital instruments are not uncommon, but the Wanderer organ, on the other hand, is a stately pipe organ! With the help of the so-called multiplex principle, a total of 43 stops are obtained from 12 unit ranks, which can be controlled from a three-manual console. The various pipes are distributed over individual mobile modules and can therefore be positioned independently of each other at the respective installation site and easily transported.
The “Teatro Olimpico” was built from 1580 by Andrea Palladio, one of the most famous architects of the Renaissance. It imitates a classical Roman theatre: The audience sits on steeply rising steps in a semi-circle in front of a stage on which a magnificent palace front is erected as a fixed backdrop. Behind it, the view opens onto a city of scenery. The ceiling of the theatre is painted like a summer white and blue sky. Normally, the theatre is open for viewing only – concerts take place only in rare exceptional cases.
