LOVE & MAGIC:
A Salon Performance
PERFORMING: Selections from Camilla de Rossi’s secular cantata, Fra Dori e Fileno (1710) & a new opera by Tamzin Elliott, Meidelant (libretto by Sara Fetherolf).
FRA DORI E FILENO- Fileno, a shepherd (Sarah Reynolds), approaches the shoreline where he sees Dori, a sea nymph (Marisa De Silva), arise from the waves. By the next day, they are wed. This piece will be performed on period instruments.
MEIDELANT-Morgan, a.k.a. Morgana le Fey from Arthurian legend (Hannah Rice), discovers magic and her sexuality during her youthful years in a convent. This score calls for historical instruments and synthesizer.
We hope to perform both of these works in their entirety in the near future but need your support to actualize that goal!
