Maestro Ryan Brown

In our second session of From Score to Modern Premiere, we will focus on an Italian work, Jommelli’s Cerere Placata, which Opera Lafayette premiered in 2019. Ryan Brown interviews guest conductor Charles Brink, who will take us on his journey of discovering and editing the work and bringing it to the stage.

About From Score to Modern Premiere Salon Series:

In its 25-year history, Opera Lafayette has built a reputation for returning to the stage operatic works lost to the passage of time. Each discussion introduces works that were popular in their day, influenced the composers of today’s musical canon, and maintain contemporary relevance. There are many steps Opera Lafayette must take when preparing a modern premiere beyond the planning required for the performance of a work in the current repertoire.  This series looks at the process of recreating and preserving works not yet heard by contemporary ears, including several of Opera Lafayette's twelve modern premieres.
