UVic Voice Ensemble and Victoria Baroque present a creative semi-staging of Charpentier’s gorgeous miniature drama-in-music.
Interspersed with musical scenes, the singers themselves guide the audience through diverse reflections on the ancient Greek myth of Actéon’s punishment at the hands of the gods. Charpentier’s beguiling music directed from the harpsichord by Marco Vitale, with an ensemble of baroque winds and strings.
