Peter Navarro-Alonso | In Flagrante Delicto
In conversation with Theatre of Voices and Ensemble Stralo, Peter Navarro-Alonso composed In Flagrante Delicto, a 60 minute piece in four movements. The focal point of the new work was the renaissance composer, Carlo Gesualdo, who was notorious throughout the period for his dark and twisted mind, and even went as far as murdering his unfaithful wife.
In Flagrante Delicto received its premiere on 20 February 2022 at Sankt Maria Kyrkan in Helsingborg.
