Soprano Olivia Greene will present a staged concert of Schoenberg’s melodrama “Pierrot Lunaire” paired with the world premier of a new work by Omar Najmi. Pierrot” is an archetypal character from the Italian commedia dell’Arte. Pierrot himself is a sad, white-faced, lovelorn clown: naive, trusting, and the butt of everyone else’s jokes. Albert Giraud’s “Pierrot Lunaire” – which means “moonstruck Pierrot” – is something more: not just melancholy and “moonstruck” (meaning “in love”) but lunatic as well, a commedia dell’Arte archetype reconstrued as a symbol for the modern, alienated artist.
