The Deadly Sins – Angels And Demons In The Works Of Claudio Monteverdi

In order to honour the anniversary of Claudio Monteverdi’s 450th birthday (1567–1643), the ensemble Cappella Mediterranea and their founder Leonardo García Alarcón were given the special permission to perform in an outstanding venue, the Chiesetta del Doge at the Palazzo Ducale in Venice, for a unique musical project. Based on the theme Angels and Demons, they perform extracts from Monteverdi’s opera and madrigal compositions. The half-scenic production featuring baroque music soloists such as Mariana Florès, Francesca Aspromonte, Emiliano Gonzalez Toro and Mathias Vidal is staged by Olivier Lexa, founder and artistic director of the Venetian Centre for Baroque Music.
