The Song Company’s Love in Venice was performed at the Melbourne Recital Centre on March 12, 2012.

Just as Shakespeare and other literary figures are still relevant in the twenty-first century, so too can be the music from the past. This concert served to illustrate that humour from seventeenth-century Italy can still be funny in Melbourne in 2012, and that human lust and love hasnвІ t really changed that much in 400 years. The Song Company is to be commended for this accessible, high-quality and extremely enjoyable production. I just wish the audience were encouraged more to clap between songs!

From the sublime to the ridiculous вІ the focus after interval changed to comedy. Including props, puns, crazy accents and general hilarity, the performance of Adriano BanchieriвІ s (1567-1643) A Boat from Venice bound for Padua conjured some genuine belly laughs from the audience вІ not what you generally expect from a classical music concert!

Supplied with comprehensive program notes (with full translations) we were treated to an aural feast last night at the Melbourne Recital CentreвІ s intimate Salon, in The Song CompanyвІ s inaugural Melbourne subscription concert: Love in Venice. The first half of the program featured eleven of the aforementioned madrigals, performed with exquisite beauty and precision by the six seasoned singers of the company. Special mention must be made of sopranos Susannah Lawergren and Anna Fraser, whose performance of the duet O come sei gentile was one of the many highlights.

deathвІ (think metaphorically), it really helps to have the translation of the original Italian at hand to fully appreciate MonteverdiвІ s вІ

thrusting dartsвІ and lots of вІ

With racy lyrics involving вІ

вІVOh no, itвІ s all about sex!

Early Baroque music вІ madrigals, the sweet harmonies of Monteverdi, purity of sound, tra-la-la-la-la, etcвІV A bit twee, all sweetness and light, we might think?

ВPSex, Comedy and… Classical Music?!
