In ENGLISH

The voice of Ariadne lamenting on the shore of Naxos has been an obsessive presence in poetry and music since classical antiquity. Ariadne’s Echo: An Exploration of Musical Hauntings retells the story of the abandoned heroine through a selection of poetry and vocal music from the Baroque age, including works by Claudio Monteverdi, Luigi Rossi, Giacomo Carissimi, and Marco Marazzoli. The program draws on research conducted by Prof. Eugenio Refini and is curated in collaboration with Prof. Davide Daolmi and M° Andrés Locatelli. It is presented as the final component of the study-day (re)Voicing Voices, organized as part of the Viva Voce series in connection with Prof. Refini’s graduate seminar.

Organized by Prof. Eugenio Refini, Viva Voce is a series of events – conversations, talks, book discussions – that address the intersections of voice, performance and the mechanisms of reception. Featuring specialists from different fields, these interdisciplinary events aim to bridge across research, teaching, and public outreach.
