BAR LA BARCA, a unique double bill of “madrigal comedies” written 400 years apart will be performed by the Western Wind Vocal Ensemble at Brooklyn’s BARGEMUSIC at Fulton Ferry Landing. La Barca by Adriano Banchieri is one of the key works of early music theater that preceded opera, a raucous, rollicking work that takes place on the ferryboat connecting the island republic of Venice with Padova on the mainland. It is all in the witty, bawdy and elegant spirit of late Renaissance Venice. Commissioned as a companion piece by the Western Wind, Jukebox has a libretto by Valeria Vasilevski who also directs; the character-filled a capella score is by Eric Salzman. Tickets: Regular: $40, Senior: $35, Student: $20

From Teatro Comunale di Bologna, 2008 (200 min) Splendidly staged and performed, I Puritani is a powerful story of love between Elvira and Arturo amidst the English civil war of the 1640s. Elvira's hand has been promised to Sir Richard Forth, whom she does not love. Instead, she is madly in love with Arturo Talbo. Realizing his niece's sadness, Sir Giorgio convinces her father, Lord Gualtiero, to allow her to marry Arturo. At the wedding celebration, Arturo discovers that Queen Enrichetta is a prisoner in the castle. By covering the queen in a wedding veil, Arturo helps the Queen escape from the castle. Meanwhile, Elvira thinks that she has been abandoned. In the end, Arturo and Elvira are reunited to live in bliss. Tickets: $21; Members $19

6:30 p.m. Festival Chamber Players Igor STRAVINSKY Octet for Winds Max BRUCH Octet for Strings This special Encounter presents music that was written while W.R. Hearst was in residence at Hearst Castle (1919-1947), a rich and important period in classical music. Inspired by a beautiful dream, Stravinsky’s Octet for Winds (1923) returned to the musical forms of bygone eras in a neoclassical style. Like Hearst Castle itself, the work combines the visionary (tonality and instrumentation) with tradition (European musical architecture). The lushly beautiful Octet for Strings (1920) by Max Bruch harkens back to the Romanticism of Brahms. Enjoy sumptuous hors d’oeuvres, award-winning wines from Tablas Creek Vineyard and a Pacific sunset on the Neptune Terrace before the intimate presentation of these engaging works of the early 20th century.

The same creative team behind last summer’s spectacular Les Misérables joins forces with Tony-winner Donna McKechnie as choreographer to bring this timeless classic to life as the Bowl’s annual fully staged musical.
