Aquila has been the professional company in residence at NYU�s Center for Ancient Studies since 1999 and has since become a major part of New York City�s theatrical landscape. With several productions each year, Aquila has brought excellent classical theatre to thousands of New Yorkers. �Aquila�s productions are beautifully spoken, dramatically revealing, and crystalline in effect.� � The New Yorker.
The conference complements a concert performance of Cherubini's Medee at Carnegie Hall on Saturday, June 3rd, 2006 at 7:30pm. The Aquila Theatre Company will be performing in a new translation of Cherubinis' original French libretto.
