The Impostor Unmasked | Opera Lafayette

  • St. Francis Hall 1340 Quincy Street Northeast Washington, District of Columbia, 20017 United States (map)

Michelle makes her Opera Lafayette debut in a musical masquerade featuring early music works.

Welcome to 17th-century England, where masks are currency and music reveals more than it conceals about those who wear them. Bill Barclay, Artistic Director of Concert Theatre Works and former Director of Music at Shakespeare’s Globe, joins Opera Lafayette for a masquerade accompanied by songs of longing, satire, devotion, and delicious melancholy, all leading to a single question: who is the impostor?

This immersive evening of intrigue invites you to become anyone but yourself as we converge for a concert of devastating beauty and playful entertainments, with music by Dowland and Campion through Purcell and early Handel.
