Newberry Consort & Haymarket Opera

  • Art Institute of Chicago 111 South Michigan Avenue Chicago, IL, 60603 United States (map)

I’m performing Italian triple harp for an unstaged version of Jacopo Peri’s Eurydice (1600), the earliest surviving opera, in a collaboration between the Newberry Consort and Haymarket Opera. The opera was written for the marriage of King Henry IV of France and Maria de Medici in Florence. The chromatic arpa doppia, popular in Italian cities such as Naples and Rome at the time, flourished in works by Monteverdi, Trabaci, Marazzoli, and others.
