SUMMARY:Boston Early Music Festival (USA): Charpentier
DESCRIPTION:Boston Early Music Festival: Vocal\, Chamber and Dance Ensembles (USA)\nPaul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs\, Musical Directors\nMarc-Antoine Charpentier’s \nLa Descente d’Orphée aux Enfers\nand La Couronne de Fleurs\nFor the first time ever\, Victoria audiences will have the opportunity to experience a semi-staged baroque opera\, performed in a period style by one of the world’s leading baroque music ensembles. Close to thirty singers\, dancers and musicians will perform a double bill of operas by Marc-Antoine Charpentier\, first played for the Dauphin of France. This is the most ambitious production in EMSI’s almost thirty-year history.\nTwo jewels of the  French Baroque\, the operas are a brilliant fusion of music\, drama\, and dance. Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs\, reigning authorities on early music\, lead the internationally acclaimed singers\, instrumentalists\, and dancers of the Boston Early Music Festival.\nOrphée is a blend of two operas by Marc-Antoine Charpentier. The operas\, dating from 1685 and 1686\, are presented as a play within a play – a musical contest framing the story of Orpheus and Euridice.\nLa Couronne de Fleurs\, based on a text by Molière\, depicts a musical contest in tribute to Louis XIV as shepherds vie for a crown of flowers from the goddess Flora for the most beautiful and eloquent aria. These miniature masterpieces showcase one of the great composers of the French Baroque. The short opera La Descente d’Orphée aux Enfers is presented as a further entry in the poetic contest\, telling the famous story of Orphée\, who decends into the underworld to use his musical powers to rescue his beloved Euridice. These miniature masterpieces showcase one of the great composers of the French Baroque.\nPlayful\, elegant\, and haunting\, this performance is a perfect melding of consummate musicianship and exhilarating theatricality.\nA must-see for those who love the art of the Baroque and the glory of Opera!\n“musically intelligent and dramatically affecting” THE BOSTON GLOBE\nCo-presented with Pacific Opera Victoria\n\nConcert programme\nSynopsis of the operas\nLibretti: La Couronne de Fleurs\nLibretti: La Descente d’Orphée aux Enfers\nFrench Baroque Opera by Robert Holliston\nVisit the Boston Early Music Festival  webpage\nSee Tickets for purchasing information\n  \n\nBehind-the-Scenes Preview video by Kathy Wittman\, Ball Square Films. \nBoston Early Music Festival\nFounded in 1980\, the Boston Early Music Society has long been one of the leading groups in the performance of music from the Medieval\, Renaissance\, Baroque and Classical eras\, acclaimed internationally for their artistry\, technical polish\, style\, scrupulous research\, and above all excitement and drama.

SUMMARY:London Handel Players (UK): Handel at Home
DESCRIPTION:To the public\, Handel was the great man of theatre\, the titan who dominated the English music scene for half a century. His friends saw another side; in his rooms at 25 Brook Street (Handel’s home from 1723 until his death in 1759)\, the finest musicians would collaborate with Handel the chamber musician. The London Handel Players recreate these musical soirées.\n“Their consummate musicianship is consistently delightful.” GRAMOPHONE\nThe programme notes are now available for you to download.\nSee Tickets for purchasing information
