Opera Essentia – Past Concerts
Opera Essentia's mission is to curate Handel's neglected stage works into an accessible form and present them for free in neighborhood communities for all to enjoy. Distilled into One Act, and performed outdoors by a diverse company of world-class musicians, Handel's highly expressive writing for the human voice perfectly conveys character and emotion. Employing visceral gut-string instruments, we weave arias into an intimate sound chronicle which all can enjoy.
