Ars Minerva is a San Francisco-based, 501(c)3 performing arts organization created in 2013 by Céline Ricci. Its mission is to engage new audiences for classical music through innovative productions of Baroque operas.

 

Ars Minerva is proud to bring forgotten music back to life, in collaboration with artists in the San Francisco Bay Area. Reviving Baroque operas is a rare and captivating experience, which we are happy to share with the diverse local community.

 

Since its inception, Ars Minerva has presented the modern world premieres of six long-forgotten Venetian operas in San Francisco.

 

-March 2015: La Cleopatra, composed by Daniele da Castrovillari for the 1662 Venice carnival season.

-May 2016: The Amazons in the Fortunate Isles, composed by Carlo Pallavicino in 1679.

-September 2017: La Circe, composed by Pietro Andrea Ziani in 1665.

-November/December 2018: Ifigenia in Aulide, composed by Giovanni Porta in 1738.

-November 2019: Ermelinda, composed by Domenico Freschi in 1680.

I-November 2021, Messalina, an opera composed by Carlo Pallavicino in 1679.

​

In 2020 Ars Minerva has started a collaboration with the San Francisco Girls Chorus: Juditha - The Journey of a Warrior Woman, based on Vivaldi's Juditha Triumphans. The full staged production will be presented in 2023.

 

In addition, Ars Minerva has collaborated with other Bay Area organizations such as Humanities West, The Museum of Performance + Design, The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, and The Italian Cultural Institute of San Francisco.

 

 In July 2017, Ars Minerva performed at the historic Lick Observatory as part of their Music of the Spheres concert series.

​

Ars Minerva also created Baroque for Kids, an outreach program for high school students, with the Italian class of the Ruth Asawa School for the Arts.
