HAYMARKET OPERA COMPANY: LENTEN ORATORIO SERIES
THU, MAR 3 • 5:45 P.M. • SANCTUARY
For its 3rd annual Lenten Oratorio, Haymarket brings you the earliest known Passion oratorio. Written in Rome in the 1640s, this stirring work contrasts the devilish delight of demons rejoicing at the death of Christ with the heartbreaking lamentation of the Virgin Mary as she weeps for the world. Attributed to Luigi Rossi, the compact masterpiece is performed by an ensemble of 17th century instruments with soloists and chorus. Running time is one hour without intermission. Program is sung Italian with English supertitles. Tickets available online at haymarketopera.org or call the box office at 312-898-7446.
