La Scaffetta
Tempest Productions presents
La Scafetta: The Foundling Drawer
based on poems by Mary Rohrer-Dann
adapted for the stage by Cynthia Mazzant
Haunted by the mother who abandoned her, clashing with her teacher, Gabriella searches for a kindred spirit, love and identity beyond her violin.
A new verse play exploring the history and role of the foundlings at Venice's Ospedale della Pietà. Through the seventeenth century all of four of the surviving ospedali gained increasing attention through the performances of sacred music by their figlie di coro. These orphans performed at Mass and Vespers from behind grilles in the high choir galleries or "cantorie." Much of Vivaldi's sacred vocal and instrumental music was written for performance at the Pietà.
