Founded by famed viola da gamba virtuoso Cristiano Contadin, the ensemble Opera Prima explores the Italian repertoire of the 1600s with technical mastery and buoyant enthusiasm. They make their American début alongside a favorite of Boston and New York audiences, superstar soprano Amanda Forsythe ’98, in a program that explores the passions of the human soul. Stunningly evocative masterpieces from the most brilliant and imaginative Italian composers of the 17th century.
