New York Baroque Incorporated with Vivica Genaux, mezzo-soprano
American mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux has a rich history with Caramoor, having first come to the attention of NY audiences and critics with her performance in Rossini’s La Cenerentola here in 1996. Now, for the first time since 2009, she is back in the Venetian Theater with the dynamic, conductorless period-instrument orchestra, New York Baroque Incorporated. Genaux’s incredible command of coloratura shows off the vocal athleticism and emotional prowess which has made her one of the top operatic singers performing today. Join us for this rare US appearance by the mezzo-soprano in arias by Handel, Vivaldi, and Hasse.
