The libretto of L’Olimpiade or The Olympiad was set to music by over fifty composers, making it one of the most popular in opera history. Based on the story of the ‘Trial of the Suitors’ by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, it has all the materials necessary for a work of high drama – loyal friends, crossed lovers, secret backstories, deception, disguise, and possible ruin.

For Vache Baroque’s 2024 Summer opera production, a cast of seven will sing Giovanni Battista Pergolesi’s enthralling arias in Italian and act out the narrative in a newly-created English script by director Laura Attridge.

In true VB Festival fashion the grounds will become an extension of the stage, with sports-themed activities and immersive elements from the ‘Trial’ filling the hours before the main show. When the gun sounds, the opera will take just over two hours including an interval – a fast-paced, energetic performance reflecting the dash-to-the-line of this Olympic story.
