Francesca Biliotti

On Bastille Day in 1937, pioneering German-Jewish photojournalist Gerda Taro spends her final day in Paris confronting her past, her complex partnership with Robert Capa, and her absolute commitment to anti-fascist resistance before returning to the front lines of the Spanish Civil War.

In the magnificent rooms of the Galleria Borghese in Rome, John Eliot Gardiner and his ensembles The Monteverdi Choir and The English Baroque Soloists bring together the music of Claudio Monteverdi and the paintings of Caravaggio. The encounter of two works whose creators revolutionised their disciplines.

The frescoes of the sixteenth-century Palazzo Ragazzoni in Sacile provide the backdrop for the Cantatas of Francesco Barsanti, recently rediscovered by musicologist Michael Talbot. Francesca Biliotti and the Cenacolo Musicale offer us the world premiere of this Italian composer who emigrated to Scotland in the mid-eighteenth century.
