Arianna CD
Andrew Lawrence-King's remake of Monteverdi's lost masterpiece channels the composer's published works from around the year 1608, to set Rinuccini's complete libretto, with the famous Lamento - the only original music to survive - as the centre-piece.
More about ARIANNA a la recherche here.
ARIANNA a la recherche was premiered at Theatre Sats in September 2017. Now there is an international collaborative project to record the complete opera for release as a CD at the end of this year.
More about the Arianna CD project here.
Future plans include two new early opera productions at Theatre Sats, and a modern/baroque Handel production at another Moscow theatre.
We welcome collaborations with other institutions in Russia and internationally.

as the fourth opera in the Monteverdi trilogy"
