UPCOMING EVENTS
MESSIAH
The culmination of the Ravenna Festival’s Autumn Trilogy.
Alysia will perform the soprano solos in Handel’s beloved oratorio, conducted by Ottavio Dantone with the Accademia Bizantina and the Coro della Cattedrale di Siena “Guido Chigi Saracini”. With fellow soloists Delphine Galou, Žiga Čopi and Christian Senn.
THEODORA
Thomas Dunford conducts his Jupiter Ensemble.
Refusing to sacrifice herself to Venus, the young Christian woman Theodora is condemned by the Romans to prostitution before dying a martyr's death. Far from the flamboyant heroism of Giulio Cesare, Handel displays deeply moving emotion in one of his last oratorios. Carried by elegiac and fervent music, Theodora transcends intimate drama to become a true spiritual meditation.
