The century after it got finished persecuting Spinoza, the great Sephardic Jewish community of Amsterdam got down to creating some Baroque vocal music. Who knew?
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, have a nice Southern Italian dinner after the show in spectacular surroundings at The Leopard at des Artistes. Streaming at home, have a My Fair Lady: pour 1-1/2 oz. Genever, , 1 oz. dry Vermouth, 1/2 oz. Amara Ciociaro, and 1 tablespoon Maraschino liqueur, with two dashes of orange bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Stir. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe. Garnish with an orange twist.
