Young Artists of Cantanti Project Bring Oldest Surviving Opera EURIDICE to Life in NYC

The Things You Love Are Worth Reviving. Cantanti Project takes on the rarely performed EURIDICE, a telling of the myth of Orfeo and the power of music, in a revival that blends the past and the present.

New York, NY. January 1, 2018. EURIDICE by Caccini, the oldest surviving opera score, is brought back to life in a staged production by Cantanti Project with Dorian Baroque at The Alchemical Studios on February 23rd & 24th at 7:30pm and with a matinee performance on February 25th at 3:00pm. Early music specialist Dylan Sauerwald leads an ensemble of period instruments, and stage director Bea Goodwin guides a cast of storytelling singers through a modern take on a beloved myth.

 

Lines in music history are usually blurry - for example, the baroque/classical divide and the also the classical/romantic… But the baroque was an explosion, and EURIDICE is the very center of that explosion. - Dylan Sauerwald, conductor
