choreographed by James Kudelka. Greta Hodgkinson dances the title
role with Aleksandar Antonijevic as Prince Ivan and Rebekah Rimsay

and percussion.
Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa, is equally celebrated as the
composer of madrigals of great power and tortured complexity and as
the murderer of his wife and her lover in flagrante delicto. His
life and compositions are not unconnected. His neurotic sensibility
found an ideal outlet in the mannerist tendencies of late
Renaissance music, and his works are the most extreme examples of
those tendencies. Watkins's extended study of Gesualdo's life and
works was originally published in 1973. Alongside detailed analysis
of Gesualdo's remarkable madrigals and of the few works in other
genres, it contained much new biographical material, particularly
on the latter part of the composer's life. This new edition has
been extensively updated, and contains a new chapter covering the
research of recent years. The preface to the first edition, by Igor
Stravinsky is reprinted.
