Le Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra et pas moins de neufs chanteurs issus de différents horizons étaient réunis pour l’exécution du septième opéra en trois actes du compositeur italien Agostino Steffani, Niobe, Regina di Tebe.

Friday evening’s concert also featured soprano Shannon Mercer and bass-baritone Douglas Williams.
