Monica Huggett directs the Arion Ensemble in tribute to great 18th century singer Faustina Bordoni (1697 – 1781, Venice) was universally ranked among the greatest singers of her age. This was at a time when the great castrati of the 18th century ruled the operatic stage, but Faustina, as she was known, was no less revered. Chroniclers raved about the flexibility and brilliance of her voice, her perfect intonation, outstanding breath control, and her musical intelligence. It was also said that her extraordinary singing abilities were matched by her acting.

Canada’s greatest early music ensemble Arion are paired with the amazing coloratura mezzo soprano Kimberly Barber and led by our very own Monica Huggett. Ms. Barber is prized, moreover, for her brilliant and touching performances of Handel’s castrato roles. And like Faustina, Kimberly Barber is a vivid interpreter of music from her own era.
