About this Event
Francesco Antonio Pistocchi’s oratorio Il Martirio di San Adriano (The Martyrdom of St. Adrian) from 1692
---
The Academy of Sacred Drama will present Sweet Chains, their production of Pistocchi’s oratorio Il Martirio di San Adriano (The Martyrdom of St. Adrian) from 1692. Moved to convert because of a miraculous sign, the Roman guard Adrian faces imperial persecution and death for embracing the Christian faith. His wife desires to share in his suffering and strengthens his resolve. The Academy's semi-staged production, accompanied by Baroque-style instruments, stars the young Brazilian countertenor Victor Bento. A Western Hemisphere premiere.
Jeremy Rhizor, music director and violin | Tony Lopresti, movement director | Adam Cockerham, associate music director and theorbo
