The Tale of Serse

The Tale of Serse

Atlas Performing Arts Center
1333 H Street NE Washington

The In Series takes this most vibrant of Handel's works - complete with its famous "largo" Ombra Mai Fu - and transforms it to captivate contemporary audiences. From the legends of ancient Persia and steeped in Sufi culture, the pains and pleasures of learning to love are experienced through the magic of this music and a new narration crafted from the poetry of Rumi, one of the most popular poets of all time. The In Series performs this magnetic and visionary score on period instruments under the direction of conductor and adapter Timothy Nelson at the Atlas Performing Arts Center in DC.
