Arianna Lanci e Maurizio Piantelli in concerto presso l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Sydney, 4/125 York street.
A musical and poetic journey into the emotional universe of Arianna, the mythical figure who stands as the ultimate symbol of the abandoned woman in the Baroque repertoire. The program explores the many shades of human emotion — from despair to forgiveness — through some of the most refined and moving musical works from the 17th and early 18th centuries, in a dialogue between Italian and French traditions.
At the heart of the concert is Monteverdi’s famous Lamento d’Arianna, a masterpiece that inaugurated the Baroque “lament” genre. Alongside it, rare and intense cantatas by Alessandro Scarlatti and Joseph Haydn offer new interpretations of Ariadne’s character, navigating through anger, sorrow, and redemption. The program also includes instrumental works by Élisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre and Giovanni Bon, while paying tribute to three great female Baroque composers: Barbara Strozzi, Antonia Bembo, and Jacquet de La Guerre herself.
A concert that gives voice to the depth of the feminine soul, through a musical narrative rich in pathos, subtlety, and expressive power.
