Handel: La Resurrezione
7:30pmIn a blaze of vocal glory, a star-studded cast is led by Grammy Award-winning soprano Sarah Brailey who portrays Handel’s warrior Angel opposite the “charcoal bass-baritone” (Bachtrack) of Douglas Williams in his Haymarket debut as the fallen angel Lucifer. With “a voice that is theater itself” (Classique News), soprano Hannah De Priest portrays the ever-faithful Mary Magdalene. Scott J. Brunscheen brings his “sweet lyric tenor” (Chicago Tribune) to the eloquent lines of Saint John the Evangelist and mezzo-soprano Quinn Middleman returns to Haymarket with her “dramatic nuance” (Musical America) as the virtuous Mary Cleophas.
Chicago’s virtuosa Rachel Barton Pine joins the acclaimed Haymarket Opera Orchestra as guest concertmaster to perform the work’s demanding violin solos, originally performed by baroque music icon Arcangelo Corelli. Haymarket Founder and Artistic Director Craig Trompeter plays the ornate viola da gamba solos.
Christian Curnyn, joining Haymarket to conduct its acclaimed orchestra of 18th-century period instruments, is widely recognized as one of the leading conductors specializing in the Baroque and Classical repertoire. Curnyn’s Haymarket engagement follows his Metropolitan Opera debut conducting Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice. The BBC Music Magazine praised his conducting as “a performance that leaves you savoring every note…and then some!”

Madison Bach Musicians Summer Chamber Music Workshop
Madison Bach Musicians’ Summer Chamber Music Workshop, July 9-12, 2024, offers a unique opportunity for musicians to participate in extensive chamber music playing as well as in informative lectures, technique classes, and large group ensembles. We focus on early music from the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods. It is our mission to provide a place where chamber music lovers can come together and work intensely for a week with highly skilled faculty. This summer, we have added new classes including an improvisation class, a conversation with Marilyn MacDonald about early music, and an advanced Viol Consort with Eric Miller, and we continue our popular wind, vocal, baroque, and string ensembles. There will be a special masterclass given by Marilyn McDonald, Oberlin College emeritus professor of violin and baroque violin, on Wednesday, July 10, and our faculty concert will be on Thursday, July 11. Please join us!
