Program
Alessandro Scarlatti, La caduta de'Decemviri (1697) - Boston Premiere
Scarlatti's unrecorded opera tells the story of Virginia, the hero of Roman republicanism during the tyrannical rule of the ten men (Decemviri), and the wicked Appio Claudio. Beginning a few days after the performance, on Thursday, February 14, Botticelli's painting of the story of Virginia arrives at the Gardner as part of our special exhibition, Botticelli: Heroines + Heroes.
