Venus & Adonis: Cambridge Chamber Music Ensemble

Mark your calendars for this steamy, sensual, seductive, rarely performed operatic gem!

With a cast of 14 singers, a live orchestra, and featuring 3 dancers from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee's BFA in Contemporary Dance program, Cambridge Opera Ensemble takes on John Blow's Venus & Adonis, a mournful masque in 3 parts.

Composed in the late 1600s, Venus & Adonis is believed to be the earliest surviving English opera, written originally as court amusement for King Charles. It is a fascinating window into the period and a musical gem that sparkles anew for us today.

Stage Direction by David R. Gammons; Music Director Stephanie Beatrice; Choreographer Alissa Cardone
