Opera Lafayette's commitment to providing online programming for all audiences continues in February with the conclusion of our Overtures series; the continuation of our acclaimed family program, Opera starts with Oh! ; and an exciting Sunday Serenades concert. This program includes solos, duets, and ensembles from the 17th-century Italian repertoire, and features an original composition by bass-baritone, Jonathan Woody, with text by countertenor, Reginald Mobley on Sunday February 28, 2021, 2:00 p.m. EST.

We are pleased to highlight a video shared with us by Jonathan Woody, who performed with Opera Lafayette most recently in the opening production of our 25th anniversary season. This week's Friday Musical Moment is of Jonathan's 2018 performance of "Racks, gibbets, sword and fire" from Handel's oratorio Theodora with the Britten–Pears Baroque Orchestra, directed by Christian Curnyn at Snape Maltings Concert Hall.

Please enjoy the video below as this week's Friday Musical Moment.
