Opera Lafayette Orchestra
Opera Lafayette Orchestra is a Washington, D.C.-based ensemble specializing in reviving French Baroque and Classical operas with historical flair. Founded in 1995 by conductor Ryan Brown, the group brings dusty scores back to life using period instruments and scholarly research, giving modern audiences a vibrant taste of 18th-century musical drama. Known for digging up hidden gems—like the works of Grétry, Monsigny, and Philidor featured in their recent recordings—they’ve become champions of forgotten composers while also tackling Rameau’s fiery arias or Sacchini’s grand tragedies. Their performances blend scholarly rigor with playful energy, often staging productions in intimate venues or collaborating with institutions like the Kennedy Center. Whether resurrecting a comic romp like *L'épreuve villageoise* or a mythological epic like *Oedipe A Colone*, Opera Lafayette makes centuries-old music feel fresh, proving that “old” doesn’t mean stuffy.
