BEMF Chamber Opera Series Presents: Francesco Provenzale: Stellidaura's Revenge
Jordan Hall
$30 and up
In-Person Event
Open to the Public
A courtly love triangle is torn apart by violent passions in this sultry romp!
When her beloved is shot by a jealous rival, Stellidaura is out for REVENGE! Provenzale was a hugely influential figure in Neapolitan opera and he wrote his zany tragicomedy to be performed at a prince's summer palazzo in 1674. Breathtaking laments combine with lively tarantellas to produce a wildly entertaining cavalcade of romance, murder, and intrigue. Follow our star-crossed lovers as they navigate mistaken identities, bumbling servants, and attempted assassinations to find out whether they are destined for a happy ending or an early grave.
GRAMMY-winning Musical Directors Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs join with internationally acclaimed Stage Director Gilbert Blin to create this all-new production featuring exceptional musicianship, period-inspired staging and lavish costumes. The stellar cast features soprano Hannah De Priest as vengeful Stellidaura, GRAMMY-winning tenor Aaron Sheehan as Prince Orismondo, tenor Richard Pittsinger as loyal Armidoro, and baritone Giuseppe Naviglio and soprano Mary Riley as long-suffering servants Giampetro and Armillo. Enjoy this earthy, Shakespearean drama, fully of twists and turns and set to one of the most beautiful musical scores of the 17th century. A must-see event!
