Today we share from our archives John Dowland's “Sorrow stay” from the Opening Night of Opera Lafayette's 25th Anniversary season, which featured John Blow's Venus and Adonis, and songs by Purcell and Dowland performed by mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre and lutenist Thomas Dunford. Lea and Thomas return to Opera Lafayette online January 31, 2021, 2:00 p.m. EST for a Sunday Serenade featuring music by Purcell.
Please enjoy an audio excerpt below as this week's musical moment.
