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.

Sunday, June 3 at 7:30 pm
(doors open at 6:30)

(Le) Poisson Rouge
158 Bleecker Street
Manhattan
