Repertoire

Harriet Burns
O had I Jubal’s lyre Joshua
Ti pentirai, crudel Amadigi di Gaula
Pure del cielo … Tu del ciel ministro eletto Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno
Il primo ardor Ariodante

Timothy Edlin
Sorge infausta una procella Orlando
Lascia amor, e siegue Marte Orlando
Invide sorte avara Ariodante
Nel mondo e nell’abisso Tamerlano

Laura Perešivana
Morirò, ma vendicata Teseo
With darkness deep, as is my woe Theodora
Da tempeste il legno infranto Giulio Cesare in Egitto

Florian Störtz
Arm, arm ye brave Judas Maccabaeus
Come rosa in su la spina Apollo e Dafne
Mein Vater! Brockes Passion
Sorge infausta una procella Orlando
