Musica Nuova

Skillful and unorthodox, this early-opera troupe hits watering holes in Brooklyn and the Village with "Men, Maids and Mischief," a lively mix of dirty-minded songs from the English Renaissance and Restoration. The superb lutenist Grant Herreid accompanies soprano Brooke Bryant, mezzo Amanda Keil, countertenor Nicholas Tamagna and baritone Peter Becker.
