Members of the NYBDC and Catherine Turocy will collaborate in a new creation under the direction of Rebecca Harris-Warrick, The Pleasures of the Quarrel: Three Parisian Hits from the Contested Operatic Season of 1753. The project imagines a mash-up by three factions of opera lovers in mid-18th-century Paris, during the so-called “War of the Buffoons”. Using excerpts from three memorable works, it will highlight the aesthetic concerns of the day while giving them a lively airing within a contemporary frame. More information can be found here.
