Brooklyn Telemann Chamber Society is proud to present Orfeo, the story of the demigod of music Orpheus who travels to the underworld to rescue his beloved wife who has recently died. Along the way, in exchange for taming the furies with his beautiful music, he makes a “deal with the devil” that he can bring Eurydice back to the mortal realm, as long as he does not look back at her. An amalgamation of the various 1762 -1774 reform opera scores, this movie production of Gluck’s famous opera Orfeo features an overture of Kreisler’s rendition of the Gluck Melodie, an aria made from the instrumental ballet pieces, Naselli’s famous Eurydice aria sang by newly introduced character Persephone, lines from Dante’s Inferno spoken by the added characters of Hades and Charon, and a soprano lead portraying the title role. Filmed both outdoor and in our own modern abandoned hellscape on REDKomodo 6k, this operatic film is a huge undertaking for Brooklyn Telemann Chamber Society and director/producer Liz Kiger’s second film.

Individual Research Presentation 

Casting the Castrati Voice: Creating Safe Spaces for the Trans & Non-Binary Community within Early Opera will explore the history of the Castrati singer and the biomechanics of their voices alongside their training regimens. It will also provide practical insights on inclusivity practices when working with singers who identify as trans or non-binary in a professional or educational environment. Additionally, the presentation will offer potential casting choices within several pieces in the Baroque opera repertoire. This will provide an opportunity to learn about promoting inclusivity and creating safe spaces for trans and non-binary performers in the early music world.
