Take a musical voyage of discovery from the 18th century court of Versailles to the bucolic French countryside, across the Atlantic to the shores and rivers of Acadia and New France, arriving finally in the land of the Louisiana Cajuns. Two hundred and fifty years later, the music still retains distinctive elements from those continental forebears. It's a classic American story of immigration and transformation told through words, song and instrumental music.

Paride ed Elena tells the story of history's most consequential seduction: Paris carrying Helen off to Troy. Based on Ovid's intensely erotic retelling of the story, it may be the sexiest opera before Tristan. The score is known today mainly for the haunting aria
"O del mio dolce ardor;" which has remained a favorite concert item; the rest of the opera maintains the same sensuous beauty. Semi-staged with English supertitles.
The Torch By Which All Asia Burned ~ Music inspired by the legend of Helen, by Cavalli, Monteverdi, Handel, Gluck, Schubert, Berlioz, Tippett and others, sung by members of the Caramoor Young Vocal Artists Ensemble.

Portrait of Pauline
A look in music, narrative and letters at the life of one of the most fascinating women in 19th century music. Pauline Viardot, operatic superstar and one of the most fascinating women in 19th century music, was also a composer. Portrait of Pauline is a short narrative of her long life, sparkling with music written for her and by her.
 Cendrillon
Viardot's exquisite "salon operetta," is a retelling of the Cinderella story with Gallic wit, Italianate bel canto, and a quirkiness all her own. Semi-staged, performed in French with English supertitles and narration.

*The piece will exploit the virtuosity of this exciting young quartet to illustrate through music different types of flight. The 'captivity' within the Labyrinth will be portrayed by darker, more intense music, which will sharply contrast with the more ecstatic music depicting the flight from it.
