Welcome...
For 33 years the Early Music Guild
has brought the greatest performers of Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque
music to Seattle audiences.
|
Our next
International Series performance is Sequentia: The Rheingold Curse,
on Saturday,
January 23, 8 pm at Town Hall.
Taken from the ancient
Icelandic Edda legends, The Rheingold Curse is better known as the
plot material for Wagner's Ring operas. Director Benjamin Bagby presents
this semi-staged saga of greed and revenge with Agnethe Christensen and Lena
Susanne Norin, voices; Elizabeth Gaver, Medieval fiddle; and Norbert
Rodenkirchen, flutes and lyre. The Rheingold Curse is sung in
ancient Icelandic with English supertitles.
