Thanks to new recordings and deeper research pockets, some more 17th-century operas have cropped up on the Opera Project list, going back to the 1640s and touching back on the 50s and 80s before we go back to the 90s. I’ll tidy up those lacunae this week, hopefully finding time for Staden’s Seelewig, Cesti’s Orontea and Charpentier’s David et Jonathas over the next seven days. Almost four years later and this inaugural century of opera is barreling (hopefully) towards the good stuff in Handel and Verdi and more.
