WHO WE ARE
Black Box Baroque is a collection of musicians passionate about staging Baroque opera in a friendly, hip setting (with concessions too!).
Last March we joined our talents to present our first show: Handel’s epic 1732 magic opera, Orlando. Tremendous donor support and a sold-out performance encouraged us to continue into our second season with Ariodante.
We’ve performed with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, American Bach Soloists Festival, Tanglewood, and Amherst/Boston early music festivals. We’re graduates of Juilliard, SF Conservatory, Carnegie Mellon, and Oberlin. And this year our orchestra is the venerable Albany Consort under director Jonathan Salzedo, who has also performed with groups such as San Francisco Symphony and California Bach Society.
Join us for an unforgettable San Francisco experience!
ABOUT ARIODANTE
Ginevra, a Scottish princess, is in love with Ariodante. Polinesso, his evil rival, hatches a plan to win Ginevra and gain the throne. Deception and scandal in Scotland meet thrillingly virtuosic singing in Handel’s glorious music.

Ginevra: Kelly Rubinsohn
Polinesso: Ellen Presley
Dalinda: Sara Hagenbuch
