Our performance is scheduled for Saturday June 27, 7 pm., in the Chapel at Church of the Redeemer in Baltimore..

Opera Henriette, a new Baltimore-based professional Concert Baroque Opera group, seeks to introduce the public to the delights of early opera. In this project, we present a live performance of two shorter works that were groundbreaking in the infancy of musical theatre that has left an indelible impression on much of the musical theatre world ever since. In such a performance, as well as an informal historical introduction, there is a valuable experience of education as well as pure delight.

Two shorter dramatic works, one each by Claudio Monteverdi and J.S. Bach, feature stories of battling wills, and showcase seeds that shaped the world of musical theatre for generations to follow.

All contributions will go directly to support the performers and expenses of the production.  All of Opera Henriette’s performers are world-class level professionals, and we wish to support them at the level we feel they deserve for this demanding pursuit.  We are happy to recognize our donors with a listing in the performance programe (if received by June 24), and we offer access to “preferred seating” for the first 10 to donate $75 or more.

The performers 

The all-professional team of musicians includes music director Ted Davis, who brings decades of experience as performer and conductor, singers who boast stellar résumés, including sopranos Julie Bosworth and Claire Weber, both of whom hold graduate degrees in vocal performance from the Peabody Conservatory, plus additional singers and skilled orchestra players performing on period instruments. We are proud of this high-quality professional team.
