Musica Divina 2026: Constantinople Sweet Torment

Does the truth lie in the paradox? In the song ‘Si dolce è il tormento’ by Claudio Monteverdi, the beloved proves fidelity by suffering. Love as a moral test of strength aligns with the tradition of courtly love. A perfect fit for renowned soprano Hana Blazikova who is accompanied by Michel Angers on lute and theorbo. Setar player Kiya Tabassian complements and dialogues from his own Persian perspective. Also on the program is work by Giovanni Girolamo, Pietro Paolo Borrono and Johann Sebastian Bach.
