About the event

The Birth of Bel Canto
Opera Queensland in association with One Equal Music

The Birth of Bel Canto traces the roots of bel canto opera back to the madrigal.

Known for its romantic poetry, intricate musical textures, and emotive vocal lines, the madrigal forms the basis of the bel canto operatic style. Five solo voices, accompanied by continuo (cello and harpsichord), will bring to life the expressive works of Monteverdi, Gesualdo, Strozzi, and other leading composers of the time.

These early songs explore themes of love, heartbreak, and the complexity of the human condition – the emotional terrain that laid the foundations for opera as an artform.

Presented in association with One Equal Music, one of Brisbane’s most accomplished choral ensembles.

Running time – approximately 60mins with no interval
