Alice Teyssier presents a new cantata-style work inspired by the life and legend of La Maupin, the late-17th-century queer opera singer and swordswoman renowned for her rapturous voice and fabled adventures. Joined by a small ensemble, Teyssier embodies La Maupin at the end of her life, conjuring the arias La Maupin might have sung, the duels she may have fought, and her fearless displays of passion.
Sit onstage and enjoy a free drink during these hour-long weeknight Pop-Up Concerts, and mingle with the musicians and fellow concertgoers after the show.
