Hunter's Prey

Charpentier’s chamber opera Actéon tells the tale of a hunter whose brief vision of Diana proves fatal, while Rameau's Hippolyte et Aricie relates the story of two lovers who, while fleeing a vengeful stepmother, enjoy a brief hunt in the forest. Both feature tenor Richard Pittsinger in his Ars Lyrica debut. Heinichen’s Concerto in F Major spotlights the horns and oboes, traditional instruments of the hunt.
