monteverdi

There are many theories around Monteverdi's vespers of 1610 and one is that he wrote the piece for the Saint Mark's basilica in Venice. In my view, this whole piece is ground breaking and magnificent and at rehearsals tonight it just clicked in place mentally and I felt tremendous joy singing it. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to perform this on Sunday.

I took this photo 4 years ago on a foggy morning in late fall during my first stay in Venice.
