Miller Theatre at Columbia University
La Maupin

Free admission • Doors open at 5:30PM, music at 6PM

Alice Teyssier presents a new cantata-style work inspired by the life and legend of La Maupin, the late-17th-century queer opera singer and swordswoman renowned for her rapturous voice and fabled adventures. Joined by a small ensemble, Teyssier embodies La Maupin at the end of her life, conjuring the arias La Maupin might have sung, the duels she may have fought, and her fearless displays of passion.

Enjoy a free drink at these hour-long weeknight Pop-Up Concerts, where the audience sits onstage, then mingle with the musicians and fellow concertgoers after the show.
