Starry, Starry Night: Music of Monteverdi, Luigi Rossi, Carissimi, and Steffani
Our biennial Festivals bring together leading Early Music artists in our opera productions and concerts throughout this jam-packed week. Musical Directors Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs draw from this dazzling array of talent to deal out brilliance as if from an astonishing deck of musical cards for our traditional Saturday-night celebration. Come and party with the stars of our 2025 Festival as we present some of our favorite music from past projects—masterworks by Monteverdi, Steffani, Luigi Rossi, and Carissimi—as well as rare jewels never before heard on a BEMF concert stage!
“Playing of sensational quality, personality, and versatility.”
