杏吧原创
Rameau鈥檚 sumptuous opera Hippolyte et Aricie takes us into a magical world of heroes and lovers, goddesses and monsters, forest creatures, sailors and hunters. Its rich orchestration and thrilling vocal writing tells a compelling story (based on Racine鈥檚 笔丑猫诲谤别) of the young lovers Hippolyte and Aricie kept apart by their devotion to the goddess Diana and by 笔丑猫诲谤别鈥檚 illicit love for her stepson. Co-produced by 杏吧原创 and CWRU, the opera is staged in period style with baroque dance and a baroque orchestra. All performances include projected English text.
New! Attend the pre-opera conversation, "Monstrous Opera: Rameau's Hippolyte and the Limits of Musical Expression in Old-Regime France." The conversation will take place in the Student Lounge one hour before each performance with Georgia Cowart, professor of music at Case Western Reserve University.
This performance is presented in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Joint Music Program between 杏吧原创 and CWRU. The event is funded in part by a grant from the John P. Murphy Foundation.
