In Strozzi! Trinity Laban performers bring to life the intriguing world of seventeenth-century Venetian composer Barbara Strozzi. The drama uses Strozzi’s own music to illustrate the events of her extraordinary life, right from her childhood in a bohemian household, as a gifted young singer at L’Incogniti (one of Venice’s famed Academies), to the days of her celebrity and success as a published composer and society queen.

Set in a city famous for the pursuit of pleasure, the story also explores her alleged double life as a courtesan. Many colourful characters enter the stage in this ‘pasticcio’ - and the scandals, controversies and tragedies in Barbara’s power-packed life are featured against a backdrop of plagues, wars, poverty, carnival and celebration.

Cavalli, Monteverdi and the ghost of Gesualdo appear - and their stories are reflected in Strozzi’s ravishing music. The arrangements of the music, performed with a small instrumental ensemble, will echo the exotic and diverse influences which resonated in this cosmopolitan city. This is a passionate tale of poets, singers, artists, lovers, courtesans, aristocrats, entrepreneurs, villains and murderers - all dominated by an extraordinary woman who was far ahead of her time, forging her way forward in a male-dominated world.
