Boston Baroque: Mozart Meets Haydn

Opera meets symphony in our season opener, featuring Boston’s beloved soprano Amanda Forsythe. Hear two stellar Classical symphonies–Mozart’s “Linz” Symphony No. 36 in C and Haydn’s Symphony No. 102 in B flat– paired with a set of virtuosic arias sure to dazzle–“Barbaro, o Dio, mi vedi” from Il re pastore, “Ruhe sanft, mein holdes Leben” from Zaide, “Bella mia fiamma, addio,” and “Anna, m’ascolta” from Haydn’s seldom-performed oratorio Il ritorno di Tobia.

As Susan Miron writes for the Boston Musical Intelligencer “Amanda Forsythe’s impressive coloratura, breathtaking melismas, charming stage manner and apparent ease of execution reminded me of the young Kathleen Battle.”
