Singer

Nicola Porpora was one of the most brilliant and influential musical figures of the Baroque period. A rival of Handel, and teacher of the great castrato Farinelli, Porpora was a prolific and dramatically gifted composer of opera. We are excited to bring this important work to American audiences for the first time.

Polifemo

Considered one of the greatest operas ever written, it is a cornerstone of the repertoire and appears consistently among the top ten in the Operabase list of most frequently performed operas. In 2017, BBC News Magazine asked 172 opera singers to vote for the best operas ever written. The Marriage of Figaro came in first out of the 20 operas featured, with the magazine describing the work as being “one of the supreme masterpieces of operatic comedy, whose rich sense of humanity shines out of Mozart’s miraculous score.”
