DESCRIPTION:Jun 26 - Jul 1\, 2026\nMove over\, Will Shakespeare. Salvatore 
 Sciarrino’s Venus and Adonis—subtitled “Shipwreck of a Myth”—giv
 es the old romance a makeover to set Dr. Freud’s head spinning. Rather t
 han linger over the goddess’s infatuation with a beauteous human huntsma
 n\, Sciarrino zeroes in on the monster—traditionally a boar—who in thi
 s retelling kisses and caresses him to death. For all the kink of the psyc
 hology (there’s more)\, Sciarrino’s sound world is one of spidery frag
 ility\, spun from murmurs\, exhalations on the verge of silence\, microton
 es\, glassy glissandi\, and other iridescent effects. And who\, Sciarrino 
 asks us in a whisper\, is the winner here? Love or death? Kent Nagano lead
 s the flamboyant countertenor Randall Scotting as Adonis\, the bass-barito
 ne Evan Hughes as the Monster\, Layla Clarie as Venus\, Kady Evanyshun as 
 Cupid\, and Matthias Klink as Mars\, who pinches one of Cupid’s arrows t
 o get Adonis out of the way. Intimations of A Midsummer Night’s Dream?
