Grammy Nominee
Best Opera 2011
This exciting collaboration with the New York Baroque Dance Company (Catherine Turocy, Artistic Director) brings to Houston a fully-staged program
of some of Monteverdi’s most imaginative scores. These works take us from heaven to hell and back again, with musical imagery that still surprises, even after four hundred years!
Music by Claudio Monteverdi:
Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda
Ballo delle Ingrate
and other works from his 1638 Madrigals of Love and War
“This production…dazzled in all ways: it was wittily staged and choreographed” —The Wall Street Journal
“ingeniously and tastefully presented…Soirée Baroque en Haïti entertained and illuminated” —The New York Times
“Absolutely gorgeous” —The Washington Post
“Turocy has a ‘gift for flowing and shifting patterns’” —The Boston Globe
