From Saint-Cyr to Cannons: Moreau and Handel’s Esther Presented by Opera Lafayette

Opera Lafayette’s 29th season continues with the presentation of From Saint-Cyr to Cannons: Moreau and Handel’s Esther, an orchestral concert with vocalists. The repertoire includes works by Jean-Baptiste Moreau (1656-1733) and George Frederic Handel (1685-1759), both connected to French dramatist Jean Racine’s play Esther, based on the Old Testament story. The concert will be co-directed by harpsichordist Justin Taylor and Opera Lafayette Artistic Associate Jonathan Woody (returning after his performance in the company's season premiere of Couperin le Grand). Performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the season and more information can be found at operalafayette.org.
