To set a period atmosphere for this semi staged program, directed by Benjamin Lazar, the four singers and six instrumentalists will play by candlelight, segueing with few breaks among arias, laments and madrigals by Monteverdi, Dario Castello, Francesco Manelli and Benedetto Ferrari, with a fetching anonymous Neapolitan song tossed in.
