Barbara Strozzi: Venice, Baroque and Roll
Description
In this episode, we journey into the extraordinary, and often misunderstood life of Barbara Strozzi, one of the Baroque era’s boldest musical voices. Born in 1619 to a world that didn’t exactly roll out the welcome mat for ambitious women, Barbara carved out a career as a composer, performer, and intellectual at a time when women were expected to stay silent.
But behind the arias and accolades was a woman navigating a precarious social position - unmarried, a mother, and often the target of scandalous gossip. We’ll explore the myths, the music, and the real woman behind the manuscripts: a composer whose work explored love, desire, and the inner lives of women with a voice that still resonates today.
