Explore the depth of Telemann’s genius with a fascinating pairing of stylish slapstick and scintillating drama for an evening of show-stopping virtuosity from the Grammy-winning Boston Early Music Festival! 

Inspired by the Italian comic intermezzi, chamber opera Pimpinone approaches social class and seduction with brilliant humor and evocative humanity as the narcissistic Pimpinone is stung by the beauty and barbs of his charming chambermaid, Vespetta. The cantata Ino is a true hidden gem with a thrilling story drawn from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Written late in Telemann’s life, this miniature masterpiece is a bridge between the Baroque and Classical eras, full of dynamic theatricality and gorgeous music. 

Grammy-winners Paul O’Dette & Stephen Stubbs join with Stage Directors Gilbert Blin & Marie-Nathalie Lacoursière to lead a magnificent staging featuring opulent costumes, Baroque stagecraft, and outstanding performances from the all-star BEMF Chamber Ensemble and a stellar cast featuring sopranos Amanda Forsythe and Danielle Reutter-Harrah and baritone Christian Immler.
