Love and Ruin

Enter the sumptuous world of the Italian cantata. Soprano Lucy Fitz Gibbon (“dazzling, breathtaking” The Boston Globe) gives voice to the tragic tales of Lucretia and Armida in works by Montéclair and Handel. Interwoven with sonatas by Corelli, Handel, and Castello, this program follows women who fall — into shame, madness, or vengeance — and shows how their voices rise again.

Lucy Fitz Gibbon ~ soprano, Daniel Lee, Nicholas DiEugenio ~ violins, Ezra Seltzer ~ violoncello, Jeffrey Grossman ~ harpsichord.

Saturday, October 18 at 2 pm and 5 pm
