COUNTERTENOR Tickets

In collaboration with chemist, linguist, and artist Sissel Tolaas, countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo delves into both the wide-ranging cultural and an intimate personal history of falsetto. Through the use of smell, collective memories are created during the performance, activated in tandem with the sound of the voice. This live, 75-minute show features an evocative musical program, carefully woven together using abstract smell molecules to encode distinct aspects of the COUNTERTENOR.

Costanzo is joined by an ensemble of 15 musicians, performing a program spanning over 400 years of music from the late Renaissance to the present, including pieces by John Dowland, Philip Glass, Osvaldo Golijov, Claudio Monteverdi, Thomas Morley, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Klaus Nomi, Frankie Valli, Antonio Vivaldi, and more, with arrangements by Dan Schlosberg.
