Laura Christian, soprano

Richard Slade, tenor
Elliot Z. Levine, baritone

BAR LA BARCA is a unique double bill of "madrigal comedies" Barca di vanetia per padova (1605) by Adriano Banchieri and Jukebox in the Tavern of Love (2008) by Eric Salzman.
"La Barca" by Adriano Banchieri is one of the key works of early music theater that preceded opera, a raucous, rollicking work that takes place on the ferryboat connecting the island republic of Venice with Padova on the mainland. “Jukebox”, commissioned as a companion piece by the Western Wind, takes place in a New York bar during a huge storm and blackout where six strangers – a bartender, a dancer, a rabbi, a nun, a poet and a utility worker - have gathered to seek refuge, each with a story to tell about life and love.
