Early in his career, the genius Handel spent five inspiring years in Italy, but no record exists that he met the prolific Italian composer Vivaldi; it appears that they passed like ships in the night. Supposing these two giants did meet, let’s sample from the motets, operas and instrumental music they might have performed for each other. For this Gala Opening concert to our 5th season, we are joined by the internationally renowned soprano Agnes Zsigovics in a co-production with Nota Bene Baroque Players.
