Exciting return to San Francisco for modern première of Scarlatti serenata and première recording
October 20, 2014
Diana will be returning to San Francisco in Autumn 2015 for the first glimpse in modern times of a Serenata, to be announced, by Alessandro Scarlatti, folowed by its recording. The project reunites Diana with conductor Nicholas McGegan and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra. A series of concerts in the Bay area will be followed by the first recording of the work which hasn't been performed for nearly 300 years.
Diana first joined forces with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra back in March 2010 in a semi-staged performance of Handel’s Orlando, which toured the Bay area. This production was repeated in 2011 with performances at New York’s Lincoln Centre, Ravina and Tanglewood Festival. Diana also performed a concert of Handel and Vivaldi arias with the orchestra at Norfolk Chamber Music Festival. She returned to sing Holofernes in Vivaldi’s dramatic oratorio, Juditha Triumphans to great critical acclaim in April 2014 in San Francisco and the Bay area, including a performance at Stanford University’s new venue, Bing Concert Hall.
