Disguise, desire, and political intrigue drive Vivaldi’s rarely staged
"Arsilda, regina di Ponto," a fast-moving drama of love and hidden identity. After Prince Tamese is believed lost at sea in a shipwreck, his sister Lisea disguises herself as her brother to secure the kingdom’s future, only to find herself betrothed to his fiancée. Vivaldi’s brilliant score shifts effortlessly between comic sparkle and psychological depth. Opera Neo’s American premiere of Arsilda offers a captivating theatrical ride and a timeless meditation on love, identity, and renewal.
Peter Kozma directs the production and conducts the Opera Neo Orchestra, performing on period instruments.
