​Il Pastor Fido (The Faithful Shepherd)
Sunday April 14, 2024, 4pm
Bombyx Center for Arts and Equality
130 Pine St
Northampton, MA 01062

Music inspired by Guarini's play

Giovanni Guarini published Il Pastor Fido (The Faithful Shepherd) in 1590. Set in Arcadia, the pastoral tragicomedy became one of the most famous (and controversial) plays of its time. The play inspired musical works by many composers including Giovanni Bononcini, whose secular cantata Siedi Amarilli is a highlight of this program. Mezzo-soprano Christina English is the featured soloist.
