SFGC Presents: Juditha Triumphans

Z Space (450 Florida Street, San Francisco)

Valérie Sainte-Agathe, Conductor
Celine Ricci, Stage Director

SFGC presents its Premier Ensemble in Vivaldi’s Juditha Triumphans at Z Space, with music direction by Valérie Sainte-Agathe and stage direction by Celine Ricci. This remarkable oratorio from 1716 was written for an all-female ensemble, with all characters both male and female interpreted by women of the Ospedale della Pietà, a girl’s orphanage in Venice where Vivaldi was music director. It is the only oratorio by Vivaldi to have survived.
