Baroque opera offers full immersion in the world of 17th and 18th-century culture with elaborate scenic design, virtuosic singing, stylized dances, colorful orchestras, and profoundly human stories. No other musical genre from this era has quite the same capacity to move, excite, and inspire audiences. During the 2018/19 season, Ars Lyrica Houston offers its first full-length Baroque opera:  Agrippina, Handel’s first operatic masterpiece. Ars Lyrica intends to offer an opera production every other season, with the double bill o f Purcell’s  Dido and Aeneas  and excerpts from the Fairy Queen slated for the 2020/21 season.  Staged operas put Ars Lyrica on a par with much larger organizations, which increases the organization’s profile while serving its mission, to present a broad range of 17th and 18th-century music. Please support Ars Lyrica’s Baroque opera project by joining the Opera Circle  today!
