Journey back to the very beginnings of opera to witness two medieval knights locked in mortal combat! Extracts from Monteverdi’s masterful Eighth Book of Madrigals recount every detail of the battle with staggering freshness and pathos. Set to new choreography by Eric Sean Fogel and followed with a lively panel discussion, don’t miss this opportunity for a crucial conversation about how we interpret the tragedy, romance, and complex legacy of the Crusades in the 21st century.
