TICKETS + INFORMATION

You probably know Handel’s (great) Alcina. You probably also know that in the Baroque period, opera libretti got passed around like spliffs. So this is Caccini figlia’s OG rendition (the earliest surviving opera written by woman). CHANCES CACCINI’S ALCINA IS AS GOOD AS HANDEL’S: low. CHANCES IT’S PRETTY GREAT ANYWAY: high.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: FFF (that’s Fancy Fucking French to you) at La Crémaillère.
