Boston Baroque Performs Monteverdi’s “Il Ritorno D’Ulisse in Patria.”

With the musical direction of Martin Pearlman and staging by Mark Streshinsky, Boston Baroque performs Monteverdi's opera Il Ritorno D'Ulisse in Patria (The Return of Ulysses to his Homeland). When Ulisse finds himself shipwrecked on the shores of his native Ithaca after his victory in Troy, he learns that his wife, Penelope, has spent the long years mourning him and fending off the advances of power-hungry suitors; returning to Penelope in disguise, Ulisse wins her hand again and restores his kingdom by passing a test that only he could pass. This performance features Boston Baroque's period-instrument orchestra and chorus, and performances by guest soloists Fernando Guimarães (Tenor) and Jennifer Rivera (Mezzo-Soprano) in the roles of Ullise and Penelope.

Dates and Times: Friday, April 25 & Saturday, April 26 at 7:30 p.m.
 
Tickets range from $35.00 - $95.00.
