Performing the role of Abelle

Tesserae presents Alessandro Scarlatti’s monumental late oratorio ‘Cain, overo Il Primo Omicidio’, a Baroque masterpiece rarely heard in Southern California. Featuring an all-star cast of characters (including Lucifer himself!), Scarlatti depicts the Biblical tale of Cain and Abel with the absolute high drama that can only be provided by the Roman Baroque theatrical style and Scarlatti’s intense harmonic language.
