Opera Lafayette presents Scarlatti | Geminiani

Based off of Torquato Tasso’s epic poem—Jerusalem Delivered, a classic tale of love, bravery, and combat. Although the poem traditionally takes place during the first crusades, this performance sets the story in India during the reign of the Mughal Empire. The titular princess seeks refuge from the wounds of love in the midst of battle. Will she find solace and safety? Enchantresses are conjured to keep the wood of the forest from being used for weapons – will the charm be broken? This embodiment of magic will leave you spellbound.
