The New York Baroque Dance Co.

Catherine Turocy was invited to speak on an international panel discussing stage direction of Baroque opera in the 21st Century.  Because Turocy is premiering two Monteverdi works and is in rehearsal, she has asked Sarah Edgar to speak for her. We are delighted Edgar can attend.  She will be speaking about Ms. Turocy’s work as a stage director/choreographer and focusing on her groundbreaking production, Teseo,  commissioned by the Handel Festival in Goettingen.
