Exploring the perennial allure of Classical antiquity and featuring heroines from ancient Roman history, Eternal City: Art and Music in Rome comes to life through performances by Dutch soprano Josefien Stoppelenburg, conductor and harpsichordist Stephen Alltop, violinist Wendy Benner, and cellist Craig Trompeter.

Hear Art Institute research associate Jeffrey Nigro expand on the rich histories of the rarely seen works in the landmark exhibition, "Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection," which inspired several of the works featured in Eternal City.

Eternal City: Art and Music in Rome features musical masterpieces by George Frideric Handel, Henry Purcell, Egidio Duni, Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
