CIRCLE OF VIRTUE

A dramatic presentation of the earliest surviving music drama by 12th Century abbess, visionary and natural philosopher, Hildegard of Bingen.

One of the earliest-named composers in Western musical history and outspoken in her dealings with princes and popes in mediaeval Europe, Abbess Hildegard of Bingen created the earliest-known opera or music drama, Ordo Virtutum, for the female inmates of her Abbey at Rupertsberg. The Song Company presents a semi-staged performance designed specifically for social distancing directed by Leonie Cambage, with Roberta Diamond, Jessica O’Donoghue, Pip Dracakis, Janine Harris, Koen van Stade, Ethan Taylor and Hayden Barrington. Music Director Antony Pitts.
