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 at the time in Italian cities such as Naples and Rome, flourished in works by Monteverdi, Trabaci, Marazzoli, and others.
