Cancelled due to covid19 crisis
To end the European tour of Mayr’s Amor Conjugale, David Stern will conduct a concert performance in Bergamo’s Teatro Sociale. This re-premiere in Italy will be an important tribute to Mayr, who was Bergamo’s local musician and Donizetti’s teacher.
William Boyce, a contemporary of Handel, wrote his Seranata when Handel spent 9 months in Dublin. Based on the Song of Song of Solomon, the libretto is a delightful collection of erotic poetry from the bible, scored for two shepherds, a tenor and a soprano, chorus and orchestra.
