Leading Berlin-based early music ensemble, the Lautten Compagney, joins forces with formidable countertenor Lawrence Zazzo and mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux to journey into the often-confusing world of gender identity. Together, they turn all masculine clichés and preconceived notions of 18th century opera and its legendary castrati on their heads. "Gender Stories" is an instrumental and vocal feast for all the senses!
