Introduction<\/h3>\n

Betrayal: a polyphonic crime drama<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Betrayal<\/em> is a daring and innovative collaboration between vocal ensemble I Fagiolini and director John La Bouchardi\u00c3\u00a8re, as they reunite for the long-awaited follow-up to their highly successful show The Full Monteverdi<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Fusing voices with contemporary dance, Betrayal<\/em> is an immersive dramatisation of intense and unsettling music by Carlo Gesualdo, the Italian Renaissance composer whose radical harmonic experiments were unsurpassed until hundreds of years later, and whose brutal killing of his unfaithful wife and her lover made him one of the most notorious figures in classical music. Set in hidden corners of real-life urban locations, Betrayal<\/em> investigates what could drive someone to such extremes.<\/p>\n
