Handel's beautiful, intimate AMADIGI di Gaula brings us love in all its glory — burning, tender, passionate, jealous, raging . . . and answered. With just four principals, this concise, human-scale work is also a living, breathing piece of theater with a score of great freshness and vitality. One of Handel's "magic" operas, AMADIGI features a love-sick Sorceress obsessed with the chivalrous knight Amadigi. The title role will be sung by LEAH WOOL and the Sorceress by AVA PINE, two young singers who won critical and audience acclaim in last season's production of Xerxes. Also featuring MATTHEW WHITE as Amadigi's rival and MARY WILSON as his one true love.
Friday, Dec. 11, 7:30 pm Boston’s Grammy-nominated Featuring AMANDA FORSYTHE Amanda Forsythe ............ soprano “The history of recording has not seen a
more beautifully styled or elegantly sung
Messiah than this one….a wondrously inte-
grated performance of sparkling freshness.”
Thursday, Dec. 31, 8:00 pm GALA NEW YEAR’S EVE & FIRST DAY CONCERTS A COMIC DOUBLE BILL! Boston Baroque ushers in the new year with two sparkling one-act comedies sure to make you LOL. Soprano Kristen Watson is the charming shepherdess with a problem lover in this romantic comedy by a very precocious young Wolfgang A. Mozart. And baritone David Kravitz wrests the baton from Martin Pearlman to become Il Maestro di Cappella— the pompous conductor in Cimarosa’s romp, The Music Director. The orchestra performs Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor. The perfect way to celebrate the new year! Bastienne ... Kristen Watson
Friday, February 19, 8:00 pm MONTEVERDI, VESPERS OF 1610 Celebrating the 400th anniversary of one of Mary Wilson ............ soprano The Chicago Tribune on Boston Baroque’s Grammy-nominated recording of the Vespers: “The Pearlman [recording] glows with spiritual passion and fervor in a way that renews the listener’s awe at the imagination and immensity of Monteverdi’s musical achievement.”
Friday, May 7, 8:00 pm EXSULTATE, JUBILATE! The extraordinary male soprano MICHAEL MANIACI sings sacred music and arias that Mozart wrote for the castrato voice. Includes arias from Lucio Silla, Idomeneo, and La Clemenza di Tito, and the beloved Exsultate, Jubilate. Maniaci recorded this program with Boston Baroque in January for release in 2010. This is a debut recording that’s sure to make waves! In concert, the virtuoso Boston Baroque orchestra will perform opera overtures and Mozart’s great “Haffner” Symphony.
