| | HAYMARKET OPERA COMPANY'S ARTASERSE, A RARELY HEARD 18TH-CENTURY OPERATIC GEM BY LEONARDO VINCI, TO BE RELEASED ON CEDILLE RECORDS, MARCH 13 | | Artaserse showcases Vinci’s skill for dramatic intrigue with a star-studded lineup of singers and an orchestra of highly skilled period instrumentalists | | |
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (January 26, 2026) — Haymarket Opera Company, a leader in the historically informed performance of 17th- and 18th-century opera and oratorio, proclaimed “among the most impressive period-performance ensembles around today” (Musical America), presents its second recording on Cedille Records, Leonardo Vinci’s final opera, Artaserse (1730), to be released on March 13. A tale of royal intrigue, murder, secret love, and ruthless ambition, Arteserse features the original cast from the American stage premiere in June 2025, along with leading period musicians performing on antique and replicated instruments for the Haymarket Opera Orchestra, conducted by Craig Trompeter.
Before Haymarket’s production, the opera hadn't been performed professionally in the United States, demonstrating that “no operatic mountain is too high for Haymarket Opera” (Chicago Tribune). Marking only the second full-length recording of this rarely heard work, the album features countertenor Kangmin Justin Kim’s “confidence and power” (Chicago Tribune) in the title role of Artaserse, matched by the “standout” (Classical Voice North America) countertenor Key’mon Murrah as Arbace. Mezzo-soprano Emily Fons, “one of the best singing actresses of her generation” (Opera News), performs as Mandane, along with male soprano Elijah McCormack, whose role as Semira was called a “breakout” (Chicago Tribune). Taking on the opera’s lowest vocal part, the “prodigiously gifted lyric tenor” (Opera News) Eric Ferring sings the murderous role of Artabano, while the “exquisite” (Opera News) countertenor Ryan Belongie plays the scheming Megabise.
This recording of Artaserse will serve as a reference for future performances of the work as well as a showcase for a stellar cast, innovatively using a wide range of vocal types, not just countertenors. As women were not permitted to perform on the opera stage throughout the 18th century, all the female roles in the earliest performances were portrayed by castrati, with countertenors usually performing the roles in more modern productions. Haymarket’s General Director Chase Hopkins says:
“When Artaserse premiered in Rome in 1730, its casting of five superstar castrati was a reflection of the social and political realities of the Papal States, including Pope Sixtus V’s ban on women appearing on stage. Nearly 300 years later (and with no connection to the concurrent installment of a Chicago pope in the Vatican), Haymarket’s 2025 Chicago revival had the freedom and responsibility to reflect our own time. Rather than assuming countertenors are the only modern solution to castrato roles, we focused on something more essential: finding the right singer, with the right vocal range and expressive power, for each role. This approach led us to a male soprano, a mezzo-soprano, and three distinct countertenors (and one villainous tenor, of course), each chosen for their individual artistry. Through this, we believe the performance honors the virtuosity of Vinci’s score without perpetuating the exclusions that shaped its original casting. From the candlelit theaters of 1730 to today’s digital stage, this monumental recording preserves a rarely performed Baroque masterpiece through the artistry of Haymarket Opera Company and Cedille Records.”
Spanning three acts, the opera begins in a palace garden in ancient Persia, where Arbace, the son of the king's general, and Mandane, the daughter of King Serse, secretly declare their love. Meanwhile, the king’s general, Artabano, murders the king and frames his son, Dario. The king’s older son, Artaserse, orders Dario’s execution, but chaos erupts, and suspicion falls on Arbace when his sister, Semira, identifies him as the murderer. Artaserse struggles with guilt over his friend Arbace plotting to kill his father. At the same time, Artabano continues his scheme to seize the throne by forcing his daughter, Semira, to marry his confidant and general of the Persian Army, Megabise, to gain power. During Arbace’s trial, Artabano pretends to be virtuous even as his conspiracy deepens, condemning his son and causing further turmoil. In Act Three, Artaserse rescues Arbace, while Artabano and Megabise plot to poison the new king. Arbace and Mandane reunite, revealing Arbace’s innocence and stopping the uprising. Artaserse confronts Artabano, who confesses and is exiled, restoring justice.
A central figure of the Neapolitan School of Opera, Italian Baroque composer Leonardo Vinci (1690–1730, not to be confused with Leonardo da Vinci), first gained recognition in Naples for his comic operas in the 1720s. Working as a composer at the Teatro dei Fiorentini, Vinci developed a rhythmic vitality and simple style that delivered clear textures for the genre, which later evolved into the anti-Baroque musical style of opera seria. This new style rejected outdated baroque extremes that emphasized unbalanced irregularity and heavy counterpoint. Although he produced around 40 operas in his lifetime, Vinci’s last, Artaserse, remains among his most notable, regarded as a masterpiece, praised for its incisive vigor and clear dramatic expression. Set to an Italian libretto by Pietro Metastasio, revered as one of the premier writers of opera seria libretti, Vinci and Metastasio collaborated closely for the world premiere in Rome at the Teatro delle Dame in 1730.
Arteserse will also come in a second, concurrent digital-only version that comprises the overture (Introductione), all 28 arias, one duet, and final chorus. Recitatives are omitted from this version, except for the recitativo accompagnato, “No che non ha la sorte” that immediately precedes Arbace’s end-of-Act 1 showstopper, “Vo solcando un mar crudele.”
Artaserse follows the success of Haymarket’s acclaimed 2022 world-premiere recording of Joseph Bologne’s 1780 opera, L’Amant Anonyme, which was praised as “Five Stars” (BBC Music Magazine) and “A triumph in every respect” (Fanfare), and marks the company’s second release on Cedille Records. Artaserse was produced by James Ginsburg and engineered by Bill Maylone and Eric Arunas. The album was recorded on July 3 and 5–7, 2025, in the Sasha and Eugene Jarvis Opera Hall at DePaul University in Chicago.
Artaserse is made possible by a generous lead gift from Nancy Dehmlow, sponsorships from Patricia Kenney & Gregory O’Leary, Lori Julian for the Julian Family Foundation, and Glory & Lynn Witherspoon, plus additional support from Gail Belytschko, Patricia & Jerry Fuller, Mary Houston, and the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Fund for Vocal Recordings at Cedille Records.
