An Israeli premiere, A.Scarlatti's oratorio "Il Primo Onicidio" (The First Murder) tells the ancient story of Cain and Abel in bold colours, intensifying the relationship's intrigues, its bad feeling and pain. In another project of the unique collaboration between the Baroque Orchestra and the Meitar Opera Studio, Shirit Lee Weiss will take on production of the oratorio, a work not originally intended to be a stage production, but incorporating the necessary theatrical potential, thanks to the electrifying dramaturgy of Scarlatti's music.
