Jacopo Peri holds a monumental place in the history of opera as its pioneering figure, often called the "father of opera." Living at the dawn of the Baroque era, Peri laid the foundation for the development of opera as a genre capable of exploring profound human emotions and stories, influencing generations of composers from Monteverdi to Handel and beyond. Our concert presentation of Peri’s Euridice will feature a cast of celebrated artists both familiar and new to Newberry and Haymarket audiences, and an orchestra of expert period instrumentalists assembled from within Chicago’s flourishing early-music scene and beyond.
