In this rare revival, Rezonance Baroque Ensemble presents a short, unstaged opera by Italian composer Maria Margherita Grimani (1680 – c.1720). Grimani was an early operatic trailblazer, but her music was long overlooked by music history. This short work was composed for the name day of Emperor Charles VI, in Vienna. Pallas Athena (Vania Chan) and Mars (Andrea Ludwig) take turns praising the emperor. Pallas, radiant and resolute, stands in poised contrast to the impetuous Mars, their musical dialogue crackling with both rivalry and revelation.
