Prince of secrets - The mysterious life of Gesualdo

dramatised musical biographical performance

16 October 1590 As the sun slowly sets over Naples, the composer Carlo Gesualdo, born into a princely family, sets out with his assistants to carry out his macabre plan. By dawn the next day, two men are dead. Donna Maria d'Avalos, Gesualdo's young and beautiful wife, and her lover, the handsome Fabrizio Caraffa, lie frozen in blood in the Ducal Palace. But what happened that night?

The fourth performance of the Cantemus Choir of Nyíregyháza takes the audience into this tragic story and its aftermath through the poignant works of the murdering composer Gesualdo.

This extraordinary evening masterfully combines the prose of the National Theatre with the drama of late Renaissance choral music.
