Bridget Esler, Soprano and JongSun Woo, piano
Throughout the history of the operatic and art song canons, sopranos have been descending into ‘madness’ onstage, all while executing their finest vocal fireworks. Join soprano Bridget Esler in an exploration of the ‘mad scene’ over time, from Handellian rage arias, to blood-soaked bel canto heroines, to modern musical interpretations of women in crisis.
