POPPEA

by Claudio Monteverdi

March 21 – 23

The final part of IN Series’ Monteverdi trilogy, POPPEA brings the composer’s most famous and audacious final opera of love, power, sex, and betrayal to life inspired by the performance tradition of South India, and specifically Bharatanatyam dance. This landmark production is of one of opera’s undisputed masterpieces. Monteverdi's baroque score is blended with new dance music by composers Ami Dang and Rajna Swaminathan.

Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, “one of the most gifted musicians of his generation” (Wall Street Journal), makes a heralded return to Baltimore after 25 years. The New York Times attests that “when he sits in front of the keyboard…extraordinary things happen.” Andsnes brings this brilliance to Chopin’s cycle of Preludes, as well as Grieg’s contemplative–and only–piano sonata; written at age 22, it dazzles with his talent and passion.

PROGRAM:

Edvard Grieg - Sonata in E minor, Op. 7

Geirr Tveitt - Sonata No. 29, Op. 129, “Sonata etere”

About 70 miles south of Boston, Cape Cod stretches out into the ocean with water on three sides. In the summertime, it welcomes tourists from around the world to its beaches and classic sights. Once winter rolls in, the party stops, and the year-round residents brace for the same cold reality endured by the rest of the state. It makes sense Crooked Coast call this place home. On one hand, the quartet - Luke Vose (vocals, guitar), John McNamara (guitar, vocals), Ben Elder (bass, vocals), and Shaqed Druyan (drums) - take inspiration from reggae rhythms and hip-hop grooves.
