NYC Premiere & Company Debut
MasterVoices reunites with frequent artistic collaborator Doug Varone (Dido and Aeneas, Lady in the Dark) for the NYC premiere of Varone’s To My Arms / Restore. This two-part work is set to a suite of exquisite operatic arias by Handel, and his choral work “Dixit Dominus”. Part 1: To My Arms features eight dancers and a score of gorgeous Handel arias, sung live by five soloists, accompanied by musicians from the New York Baroque Incorporated orchestra, conducted by MV Artistic Director Ted Sperling. Part 2: Restore will feature the dancers and orchestra plus 100+ members of the MasterVoices Chorus, singing the choral masterwork “Dixit Dominus”, layered with Festival Voices and Nico Bentley’s electronic “Handel Remixed”.
