HISTORY
ABOC will present Vivaldi’s only extant oratorio Juditha Triumphans November 6, 2022, at First Presbyterian in downtown Dallas. This setting chronicles the Assyrian siege of the Jewish city of Bethulia. The story of Judith's bravery inspired dramatic paintings by the likes of Giorgione, Caravaggio, Gentileschi, and Allori.
