An 18th-century soirée

-

CLASSICAL The Harlequin Salon Jan. 16 to 20, Jeanne Lamon Hall, Trinity–St. Paul’s Centre

Long committed to baroque performanc­e, Tafelmusik has expanded their repertoire to include experiment­al multimedia shows that capture the theatrical­ity of the period. Their latest, created by oboist Marco Cera, invites audiences to step into the home of painter and caricaturi­st Pier Leone Ghezzi for one of his famous soirées in 18th-century Rome. For this theatrical recreation, costumed performers, including soprano Roberta Invernizzi, violinist Elisa Citterio and cellist Christina Mahler, take on the roles of celebrated party guests.
