Louis XIV’s favorite mistress has something very important to tell us. Madame de Montespan bares her soul in a new theatrical production, bringing glamour, gossip, and palace intrigue into her gripping tale. Is she a murderous villain or an innocent victim of public frenzy? Only you can be the judge, as actress Brooke Bloom stars in a never before seen one-woman play co-written with Gonzalo X. Ruiz and based on Montespan’s published memoirs, offering intimate glimpses of Versailles under Louis XIV’s reign and set to the magical music of Marin Marais.
Ms. Bloom has an accomplished career in film, television and theatre with memorable turns on FX’s “Atlanta,” “Kindred,” Amazon’s series “Homecoming” and “Alpha House”, and regular stints on HBO’s “Gypsy.” Brooke can be seen in the critically acclaimed Jeremy Hersh indie The Surrogate (SXSW), Eric Steel’s Minyan which premiered at Berlin Film Festival, Anja Marquardt’s She’s Lost Control (two Indie Spirit Award nominations), and Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story.

What better way to warm up a cold winter night than the kaleidoscopic mastery of J.S. Bach performed under soothing candlelight?
Join House of Time in two concerts of their their specialty of Bach’s solos and trios paired with the rarely performed cantata “Amore Traditore.”
The highly sought after American Baritone Paul Max Tipton will join House of Time as soloist in one of Bach’s only secular cantatas in the Italian language.
The Big Bang
Rameau’s Zais and Handel’s Fireworks
The daring, impressionistic overture of Zaïs depicts the creation of the world, proceeding from chaos to order, while the dances that follow present the kaleidoscopic world of 18th century ballet music through the lens of Rameau’s colorful wit. Then sparks fly as House of Time takes you to Baroque London with its version of Handel’s Fireworks Music. Handel’s paean to peace is transformed into exciting and elegant chamber music in Gonzalo X. Ruiz’s arrangement.

Classical Zeitgeist: Mozart and Haydn go traveling
The two greatest composers of the late 18th century had mutual admiration for one another and found their greatest success while traveling, making them pioneers of music freelancing. Haydn’s London Trios were written during his second trip to England where he was received as a veritable superstar, while Mozart’s radical Oboe Quartet was tailor-made in Munich for his friend, the oboe virtuoso Ramm.
