La Gelosia: Italian Baroque cantatas exploring jealousy
Countertenor Philippe Jaroussky has established himself as a worldwide superstar with an impressive mastery of vocal technique and performances full of nuance and vocal acrobatics. He makes a triumphant return to BEMF, again bringing his own ensemble, Artaserse, in a brilliant collection of chamber music from 18th-century Italy exploring the passion and anguish of jealousy. Thrill to the captivating theatrics of music exploring this romantic torment by Antonio Vivaldi, Alessandro Scarlatti, Nicola Porpora, Domenico Scarlatti, Francesco Durante, and Baldassare Galuppi in this exhilarating program of shimmering melodies and sparkling vocalizations from one of the world’s most singular interpreters of the Baroque vocal repertoire.
