Orlando generoso

About

The Centerpiece Opera of the 2019 Boston Early Music Festival, this production marked the North American premiere of Agostino Steffani's Orlando generoso. The production was designed to give the viewer an authentic experience of Baroque theater. The staging featured elaborate Baroque-style costumes and imaginative choreography founded on historical Baroque dance. The directorial vision incorporated clever staging with whimsical touches of humor to balance the dramatic intensity of the work, creating a fantastical journey into a world of wizards and knights.
