The Three Sopranos: Earthly Delights for Angelic Voices

Long before the Three Tenors became a sensation, 17th-century Rome had the Three Sopranos, or “Le Canterine Romane,” the finest singers of the age who performed sublime vocal trios by the most beloved composers of the time: Luigi Rossi, Domenico Mazzocchi, and Marco Marazzoli. Upon hearing the original Canterine, one observer wrote, “This concert transported me into such ravishment, that I forgot my mortal condition and believed myself to be among the angels!” Be enraptured yourself as three of the world’s most alluring divas—Amanda Forsythe, Dorothee Mields, and Cecilia Duarte—present an unforgettable evening of vocal fireworks accompanied by the acclaimed artists of the BEMF Continuo Ensemble.
