Before the bars of gender binaries caged the mainstream operatic imagination, a golden age of fluidity guided the vocal soundscape. Virility declared itself with the castrato’s clarion heights, while femininity often found voice in shimmering depths.Texts of the period revel in ambiguity, unfurling genderless narratives of anonymous lovers and unnamed beloveds, while stories of active pursuit and passive reverie remain alike at loose ends, with neat resolutions many movements away.
Please join us for this special program, as the music of the past reveals a golden underground of nonbinary riches, proving through music the historical roots of modern day revolutions.
Music of Caccini, Campion, Dowland, Handel, Strozzi, and others
