Thursday, March 5th
|
The Old Testament story of a blustering genocidal despot and the canny queen who resists and brings him down finds voice in one of the most innovative works of the violent, volatile, and tragically short-lived genius Alessandro Stradella.
Please join us for this groundbreaking masterwork by “the Caravaggio of Music" in a return of last year’s critically praised production celebrating the story of a minority’s triumph over religious persecution.
This event is co-produced by Salon/Sanctuary Concerts, NYU Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò and the American Society for Jewish Music, and presented in partnership with Centro Primo Levi.
