Grammy-winning American soprano Julia Bullock and Britain’s famed Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (OAE) join their formidable forces in a spectacular evening of vocal and instrumental showpieces from the Golden Age of the Baroque. Now marking 40 years at the pinnacle of the early music universe, the OAE is a perfect partner for this incandescent singer. “Smart, savvy, and with her velvety soprano shot through with steel, Julia Bullock is one of the most dramatically electrifying and vocally arresting singers on today’s operatic stages” (Musical America). Equally renowned for early operas as for very recent ones, she will star in the upcoming production of John Adams’ “Antony and Cleopatra” this spring at the Metropolitan Opera.
