Virtue and Vice: Roman oratorio and Venetian extravagance!
A co-production with Capella Intima
Marking our fourth co-production with Capella Intima we present Giuseppe, an oratorio from 1650, discovered in the Vatican Library and attributed to Luigi Rossi. Based on the biblical story of the coat of many colours, this 40-minute, energetic work is scored for five voices, strings, theorbo, and organ. In the second half we feature secular Venetian vocal and instrumental works by Monteverdi, Sances, and their contemporaries - lots more 17th century fireworks incorporating the same themes encountered in Giuseppe: Envy, Injustice, Faith and Charity.
Directed by Bud Roach.
PERFORMERS: Capella Intima: Sheila Dietrich & Ellen Torrie, sopranos; Rocky Duval, alto; Bud Roach, tenor & Artistic Director; David Roth, baritone. Gallery Players: Patricia Ahern & Michelle Odorico, baroque violins; Margaret Gay, baroque cello; Lucas Harris, theorbo; Jonathan Oldengarm, portative organ & harpsichord.
Tickets available on our website $10, $25 or $40 - general seating and you choose price, or Pay-What-You-Choose at the door of the concert.
