La Compagnia Amarilli presents

Non v’è rosa senza spine
A storytelling concert!

La Compagnia Amarilli’s, Non v’è rosa senza spine (there is no rose without a thorn), is a storytelling concert of Italian arias and duets by the great composers of the Baroque era: Monteverdi, Vivaldi, Handel, and others.  The music is woven together with a charming fairy tale, inviting audiences of all ages to enter an enchanted world of lovers, villains, magic, adversity, and a happy ending.  A simple set and whimsical, colorful costumes complete the program.

Non v’è rosa senza spine has been presented to audiences in Vienna, New York City, and the greater New York area.
