Fatal Attractions at Ars Lyrica Houston

Fatal Attractions is an engaging program exploring the themes of love, myth, and heartbreak through French Baroque music. Soprano Nola Richardson stars in two poignant cantatas: Louis-Nicolas Clérambault's Léandre et Héro and Jean-Philippe Rameau's Orphée, showcasing the tragic extremes of love and devotion. Acclaimed for her expressive singing, Richardson partners with a talented ensemble under the direction of Matthew Dirst, featuring works by composers like Jacquet de la Guerre and Boismortier, all performed on period instruments. This intimate concert promises a moving journey through the complexities of romantic passion.
