Introduced to Chicago audiences during John Eliot Gardiner’s Monteverdi 450 tour, Zachary Wilder is one of the most sought-after tenors specializing in 17th and 18th century repertoire. He joins WFMT to discuss the stylistic differences between seicento Italian composers (like Monteverdi) and composers of the High Baroque (like Rameau and Handel). Wilder makes his debut with Haymarket Opera Company in the title role of Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo. Learn more HERE.
