Notes to the Program
The program “The Theatre of Music” is inspired by opera and theatre, which were the most popular and successful entertainment throughout Europe in the Eighteenth Century. The trio sonata genre is possibly the one that most closely resembles the action of a theatrical production. As on the stage, two instruments, like two actors, are in constant dialogue with each other, their musical interaction bringing to mind the emotional intensity of a story without words. The continuo is also taking part in the scene, at times functioning as a dynamic commentary, at others deeply involved in the counterpoint and in the story’s narration. With this program, we bring the opera’s excitement and engagement on stage through the baroque instruments.
