OFF WITH HIS HEAD: a concert of excerpts from Donizetti's Roberto Devereux
April 21st, 2023, 7:00pm
location: St. John's in the Village (218 West 11th Street (corner of W. 11th and Waverly) New York, NY 10014)
Join composer/pianist Felix Jarrar for "OFF WITH HIS HEAD: a concert of excerpts from Donizetti's Roberto Devereux".
Donizetti's Roberto Devereux is the last work he wrote as part of the so-called 'Donizetti Queens' trilogy, a series of three operas that dramatize important icons in Tudor history. One of his finest operas, this work is a dramatic (and mostly ficticious) representation of the downfall of the Earl of Essex and the love triangle that leads to his tragic fate.
Acclaimed soprano Natalie Polito takes on the mantle of the notoriously challenging part of Elisabetta opposite rising tenor Gabriel Hernandez, who stars as the tituler Roberto. Joining them in this concert are bass-baritone Andrew Dwan as Nottingham and mezzo-soprano Rebecca Sacks, who will portray Sara. Felix Jarrar will accompany from the piano and serve as the music director/coach for this production.
"OFF WITH HIS HEAD: a concert of excerpts from Donizetti's Roberto Devereux" goes up at St. John's in the Village on Friday, April 21st, 2023 at 7pm. CLICK HERE for tickets!
