Teatro Mundi begins with an operatic bon-bon.
Mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton stars in Domenico Scarlatti’s
comic intermezzo La Dirindina, the only surviving work of
its kind from the master of the harpsichord sonata. This semi-staged production is directed by Tara Faircloth.
Also featured: baritone Brian Shircliffe,
tenor Joseph Gaines, and the Ars Lyrica ensemble
in sinfonias by the Scarlatti family.
Jamie Barton “a rising star…a sumptuous voice”
— Opera News
Joseph Gaines “contributed an attractively focused, shapely tone and some thoughtfully turned ornamentation.”
—The New York Times (2009)
Brian Shircliffe “superb and strong”
—Houston Chronicle
