Monteverdi's Il Ballo delle Ingrate
(The Dance of the Ungrateful Women)Musica Nuova
Musica Nuova's first season in New York culminates with a performance of Il Ballo delle Ingrate, Monteverdi’s rarely-performed masterwork that urges women to submit to their lovers or be condemned to hell. Turning this message into a parody of itself is a new pastiche of Monteverdi songs and English dialogue, created by Grant Herreid and Lawrence Rosenwald.
