The Green Mountain Project (monte verde: get it?) caused quite a stir ten years ago with a 100th-anniversary performance Monteverdi's magnificent Renaissance-into-Baroque Vespers at Smoky Mary's. They've done it annually (at various venues) since — but this year's (on the UES) is to be the last. If you've seen/heard it before, you'll want to see/hear it this last time. If you've never seen/heard it, you kind of must.
