From dell’Arte Opera Ensemble’s website:

A very special program featuring both 2025 roster artists and alumni going back to the very beginnings of the company.  The first half of the program will center around FRAUENLIEBE und -LEBEN as set by both Robert Schumann and Carl Loewe, surrounded by songs centering a woman’s 19th and early 20th century life.  The journey isn’t just about the traditional ideas of the Chamisso’s poetry, but introducing hints of agency, identity and independence.  The second half of the program features repertoire by three NYC female composers near and dear to dell’Arte: Martha Sullivan, Valerie Saalbach, and Ellen Mandel.  Martha is represented by a recent three song cycle “Chasing Light”.  Andi Chinedu Nwoke, Courtenay Budd Caramico, and Clara Lisle, beloved alumni, will present these three modern experiences of women in the world.  Elyse Kakacek will sing Valerie Saalbach’s “Caterina to Camoens” cycle setting poetry of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Clara Lisle will sing two heart-warming and heart-wrenching settings of poetry by Seamus Heaney by Ellen Mandel.  An entire evening of small treasures that we hope will add up to an emotional experience you cannot forget.

Featuring: Elizaveta Kozlova, Victoria Falcone, Jennifer Gliere, Valerie Filloux, Nina Riley-Hernandez, Jenny Ribeiro, Barbee Monk, Olivia Ericsson, Andrea Chinedo Nwoke, Courtenay Budd Caramico, Antonina Ermolenko, Elyse Kakacek, and pianists David Stech, Lara Saldanha, and Chris Fecteau, who has curated the program.
