A delightful musical romp, Handel's Clori, Tirsi e Fileno includes spectacular arias that the composer later borrowed for his Italian operas. A cast of young operatic stars, all singing en travesti as the opposite gender, brings a new twist to this timeless story of a wily shepherdess and her two suitors.
Featuring:
Key’mon Murrah, countertenor ˚
Lauren Snouffer, soprano
Cecelia McKinley, contralto ˚
˚ Ars Lyrica debut
