On WCRB In Concert with the Boston Early Music Festival, a renowned cast led by Karina Gauvin and Aaron Sheehan brings a story from Homer's Odyssey to life on stage. After the divine sorceress Circé welcomes Ulisse and his weary companions to her island home, the forces of love, magic, and fate clash and threaten to ensnare them all.
