Pergolesi! - Part of NYC Baroque Music Festival

This program is dedicated to the music of Pergolesi, whose enormous popularity during the era of Madame de Pompadour inspired the Guerre des Bouffons, an intellectual and artistic battle between partisans of Italian and French music. The performance will feature a semi-staged program of the Italian composer’s extraordinarily popular comedy La Servante maîtresse and a concert rendition of his beloved Stabat Mater, conducted by Patrick Dupré Quigley.

With Musical Direction by Guest Conductor Patrick Dupré Quigley, Stage Direction (La Servante Maîtresse) by Nick Olcott. Featuring Soprano Gwendoline Blondeel*, Mezzo Soprano Sarah Mesko*, Soprano Hannah De Priest*, Bass-Baritone Jonathan Woody, and Tenor Patrick Kilbride.

Opéra-ballet: Rameau’s Io and de La Garde’s Léandre et Héro - Part of NYC Baroque Music Festival

This double bill comprises two fully staged one-act opéra-ballets, including the notable debut of a never-before performed Rameau comedy titled Io. This unfinished opéra-ballet was recently completed with music from Rameau's Platée by Doctor of Musicology and foremost scholar and editor of Rameau Opera Omnia Sylvie Bouissou. The other work, a modern premiere of Pierre de La Garde’s Léandre et Héro, is a lyric drama in which M. de Pompadour herself performed and which recently came to light through efforts of Opera Lafayette and the Bibliotheque Nationale.

“Theatrical genius” (The New Yorker), and a “renowned, multifaceted artist” (Vogue), Machine Dazzle will create more than a dozen new costumes for the Io production. In roles ranging from gods to mortals, singers and dancers alike will don Dazzle’s works of art. Learn more about Machine Dazzle.

This performance is part of Opera Lafayette’s Second Annual New York City Baroque Music Festival. Tickets can be purchased for this performance alone, as part of the Gala, or the full festival which includes three performances from May 9 to 11, 2023. More information about the Festival can be found here.
