The great dramas of early Baroque Rome were the Oratorios—operatic illustrations of biblical stories, the lives of martyrs or principles of Catholicism, and an important contribution to the Counter-Reformation. The Last Judgment is one of the most powerful works by the acknowledged master of the early Oratorio, Giacomo Carissimi.
At the same time, the sumptuous court of the Barberini hosted many of the leading romantic composers in Italy. Come, hear the songs and budding popular dramas by Stefano Landi, Giovanni Kapsberger and Luigi Rossi.
Early Music Hawaii offers historically-informed performances of rarely-heard music from Medieval times to the early Baroque. Join us in exploring this world of music and culture from centuries past.
