FURY/MERCY: Vivaldi & Albicastro

What if Baroque music wasn't about the past, but about everything we feel today?

In FURY/MERCY, soprano Channa Malkin and the award-winning ensemble La Sfera Armoniosa explore the emotional extremes of Vivaldi's Venice—from blazing rage and despair to forgiveness, hope and transcendent joy. Bringing together celebrated masterpieces and remarkable rediscoveries, this programme reveals a world where opera and sacred music share the same emotional intensity.

A performance of breathtaking virtuosity, profound intimacy and irresistible dramatic power.
