| Description |
Solomon’s Knot baroque collective presents the modern staged premiere of a ‘lost’ Italian opera, l’Ospedale, based on a libretto by Antonio Abati. Set to music by an unknown seventeenth-century composer, this opera is a biting satire on patients, doctors, and medical practice, providing a unique and radical platform – or “voice” – to four characters, who exhibit various psychological and social disorders. |
