Members of the New York Baroque Dance Company, Catherine Turocy, director, will collaborate with Rebecca Harris-Warrick in a unique  opera production, The Pleasures of the Quarrel: Three Parisian Operatic Hits from the Contested Season of 1753. The performance imagines a mash-up between factions of opera lovers in mid-18th-century Paris, during the so-called “War of the Buffoons”. Using excerpts from three memorable works, it will highlight the music and dance styles of the day while giving them a lively and humorous airing within a contemporary frame. Singers Lucy Fitz Gibbon, Marie Marquis, Dominik Belavy, and Tyler Duncan perform the lead roles, accompanied by the Cornell Chamber Orchestra, directed by Michelle Di Russo.
