Two newly composed comic operas by American masters John Musto (Bastianello) and William Bolcom (Lucrezia), with libretti by Mark Campbell (commissioned in 2008 by the New York Festival of Song).  Based on an Italian folk tale set in 18th century rural Italy, Bastianello is a family fable of love and folly. Lucrezia, a variation on Machiavelli’s La Mandragola, is a wickedly funny seduction satire, retold from the viewpoint of the story’s wise and captivating heroine.

This performance will be recorded for broadcast on WNYC radio.
