A rare New York performance by Ireland’s flagship period music ensemble adorns St. Patrick’s Day weekend with the story of Giusto Tenducci, superstar castrato of 1760s Dublin. Artistic Director Peter Whelan and countertenor Hugh Cutting explore the musical context of Ireland against the scandalous details of Tenducci’s story.Featuring music by Mozart, Gluck, J.C. Bach, Fischer, Arne and Giordani, Tenducci’s titillating travails uncover a salacious chapter in Dublin’s history never before exhumed by Music Before 1800.
“The excellent Irish Baroque Orchestra play wonderfully for Whelan, who conducts with great elegance and elan.“
