I will be featured on Tenor Viola for this performance of Pistocchi’s oratorio Il Martirio di San Adriano (1692)
Moved to convert because of a miraculous sign, the Roman guard Adrian faces imperial persecution and death for embracing the Christian faith. His wife desires to share in his suffering and strengthens his resolve. The Academy’s semi-staged production stars the young Brazilian countertenor Victor Bento. A Western Hemisphere premiere.
