Timothy McDevitt in Haydn rarity at Lincoln Center

Tim McDevitt
On February 23, Timothy McDevitt will will perform a semi-staged version of Haydn's L'isola disabitata (Desert Island) with the American Classical Orchestra. He'll be joined by soloists Sherezade Panthaki, Sarah Brailey and Owen McIntosh. The performance is at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center and tickets are available online.

L'isola disabitata was Haydn's 10th opera and the only one with a libretto by popular 18th-century Italian poet Pietro Metastasio. The opera was first performed in 1779 and is an Enlightenment parable about the relationship between humanity's natural instincts and society. The opera was performed a few times during the composer’s life and rarely since, having only eight productions in recent years.

Barihunks will play a prominent role in two upcoming shows with the American Classical Orchestra in New York City. Paul Max Tipton will sing the role of Jesus in Bach’s St. John Passion conducted by Thomas Crawford on Tuesday, November 3 at Alice Tully Hall. Members of the American Classical Orchestra Chorus will be featured in the solo arias, which includes barihunks Jesse Blumberg and Joseph Beutel, who will also have solo roles. They will be joined by tenor Rufus Muller as the Evangelist.

On February 23, they will perform Haydn's L'isola disabitata (Desert Island) with barihunk Timothy McDevitt, who will be joined by soloists Sherezade Panthaki, Sarah Brailey and Owen McIntosh. Regular readers may remember our post of the opera with shirtless photos of Tom Corbeil in the Mark Morris production, which remains one of our top fifty posts of all-time. The opera was first performed in 1779 and is an Enlightenment parable about the relationship between humanity's natural instincts and society.

Tickets for both shows are available online.
