Enjoy a rare staged performance of Telemann’s lovely serenata, Don Quichotte auf der Hochzeit des Comacho, which sees Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza stumble upon the wedding of wealthy sheep rancher Comacho to the beautiful Quiteria—but her childhood sweetheart Basilio is ready to disrupt the festivities even if it’s the last thing he ever does! Woven throughout the entertainment will be movements from Telemann’s delightful orchestral suite Burlesque de Don Quichotte, a work that uses strikingly evocative music to depict various episodes from the classic novel by Cervantes.

ALEXANDER'S FEAST
ORATORIO SOCIETY OF NEW YORK
MAY 11, 2026 | 8:00 PM
The OSNY closes their season with a rare performance of George Frideric Handel’s Alexander’s Feast, composed in 1736. An ode to the power of music, OSNY last performed the work in 1878, and it has only been presented in its entirety at Carnegie Hall once before—in 1959! Based on a poem by John Dryden, the work celebrates the feast held by Alexander the Great in honor of his conquest of Persia, where the court musician Timotheus uses music to stir the conqueror’s emotions—moving him from joy to sorrow, to love, and finally to vengeance. The grand choral writing offers moments of both intimacy and majesty, culminating in a final chorus that exalts Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music.
