In the 17th century, Naples was considered the capital of music, as well as the cradle of the commedia dell’arte and opera. Its renowned conservatories produced outstanding musicians and composers, as well as famous castrati. In a musical expedition through the Seicento napoletano, L’Arpeggiata will perform early Baroque vocal music and Neapolitan folk tunes, alongside highly expressive dances and sacred cantatas.
