SUMMARY:Being Ariodante
DESCRIPTION:\n\nTime: 7:30 PM - 9:00 pm\n\nTickets: Free\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\
 n\n\nThe Italian Academy at Columbia University presents Being Ariodante\,
  a new opera composed by Jonathan Dawe (Cracked Orlando\, 2010\; Nero and 
 the Fall of Lehman Brothers\, 2016) and directed by Mari Moriarty (Jet of 
 Blood\, 2018). This dramatic work vividly explores the intersections betwe
 en gender\, sexuality\, and ability in contemporary Glasgow. The story fol
 lows the twenty-something opera-obsessed Ariodante as he fights to live a 
 life different from the character of Ariodante in Ariosto's O rlando Furio
 so he's convinced he's destined to play. Dawe pays homage to the romance o
 f Handel’s 18th century opera while still forcing audiences to reckon wi
 th the randomness and brutality of living in today’s world. Told in Ital
 ian\, English\, and American Sign Language\, Being Ariodante represents a 
 radical new wave of what contemporary opera can be.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nC
