Meanwhile, the independent production company Mechaniks is developing a second Vivaldi biopic titled Antonio Vivaldi, based on a screenplay by journalist Jeffrey Freedman. Folk-rock violinist Ashley MacIsaac has been asked to play the title role.
According to Variety, Freedman's script centers on Vivaldi's position as a music teacher at a school for illegitimate girls. Eventually, his success as a teacher leads to a concert of his music for the pope.
The production will include Bernstein’s incidental music for Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of The Lark, and Menotti’s The Unicorn, The Gorgon, and The Manticore.
