The Hall of Mirrors | Moderated by Kathleen Fay, BEMF Executive Director; with Paul O’Dette, BEMF Artistic Co-Director; Stephen Stubbs, BEMF Artistic Co-Director; and Robert Mealy, BEMF Orchestra Director
One of the stimulating ironies of working with Monteverdi’s music is that while we do everything we can to understand and revive the lost art of Monteverdi and his contemporaries, they had their eyes firmly fixed on the glories of ancient Greek music and drama. What can Monteverdi’s attempted revival of the ancients teach us about reviving his art? BEMF Directors Paul O’Dette, Stephen Stubbs, and Robert Mealy explore this question and others, during an enlightening discussion prior to the premiere broadcast of a recently recorded performance of duets and trios by Monteverdi featuring the BEMF Vocal and Chamber Ensembles.
