Baroque Gender Stories
Lautten Compagney and Wolfgang Katschner are joined by mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux and countertenor Lawrence Zazzo for an inventive look at gender in Baroque opera – when it was common for female roles to be sung by men, or for women to dress as men on stage. Extracts from operas by Handel, Vivaldi, Hasse, Porpora and others paint a varied picture.
