Chamber Orchestra of the Theatre of Early Music Love and Betrayal November 17, 2011

Adult $40 | University Park Student $15 | 18 and Younger $32



Canada’s sensational countertenor Daniel Taylor directs his Chamber Orchestra of the Theatre of Early Music in an evening of opera arias and duets by George Frideric Handel. Taylor and English soprano Deborah York sing emotionally charged selections from Giulio Cesare, Rodelinda, Xerses, Rinaldo, and Tolomeo. The chamber orchestra features six top-flight instrumentalists (two violins, viola, cello, harpsichord, and double bass or lute). The prolific Taylor, a professor of voice at several Canadian universities, can be heard on more than eighty recordings singing repertoire from four centuries. The Times of London describes York — who has recorded more than twenty-five CDs of ancient, operatic, and contemporary music — as “an angelic soprano.”

Complimentary round-trip shuttle service is provided between the Eisenhower Parking Deck and Schwab Auditorium.
