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
 fictitious) 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 titular 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!

​Speak of the Devil: a concert version of Meyerbeer's Robert le diable
June 10th, 2023, 7:00pm
location: St. John's in the Village (218 West 11th Street (corner of W. 11th and Waverly) New York, NY 10014)

​
On Saturday June 10th at 7pm in St. John's in the Village, join composer/pianist Felix Jarrar for an abridged concert version of Giacomo Meyerbeer's Robert le diable. Premiered in 1831, the work was one of Meyerbeer's most successful and popular operas and catapulted him into considerable international fame. 
After neglect from the repertoire during the 20th century, the opera is now making a return to stages around the world as Meyerbeer's work goes through a period of critical reappraisal. "Speak of the Devil" is a concert presentation that highlights some of the most famous and greatest parts of the work - such as the Evocation Scene - and brings it to audiences in an abridged version that clocks in at under 90 minutes. 
Tenor Daniel Kamalic and soprano Caroline Spaeth star as Robert and Isabelle alongside bass Robert Ellsworth Feng as Bertram, soprano Rachel Hanauer as Alice, and tenor Douglas Sabo as Raimbaut. 

Tickets for general admission are $15. CLICK HERE for tickets!
