Nun against her will - Arcangela Tarabotti

Tarabotti's work, La Semplicità ingannata, bears eloquent witness to this discussion – a German translation was published as early as the 1670s.


The concert, developed by Gerd Amelung and Babette Hesse, paints a vivid picture of the intellectual world of the 17th century. The texts are commented on, counteracted, and underscored by music originating from the Academia degl'Incogniti.


Barbara Strozzi, among others, was a member of this Accademia. Her virtuoso works form the backbone of this word-and-music program, which spans the period from Giulio Caccini and his daughter Francesca Claudio Monteverdi to Claudio Monteverdi.
