Sergei SHEVCHENKO (countertenor) has been a soloist with the Moscow Conservatory?s Collegium of Ancient Music since 1999. With this theater he has performed leads in productions of Juditha triumphans by Handel, La Calisto by Cavalli, L?Europe galante by Campra and Handel?s pasticcio Nero.

In Quixote and Sancho, he not only performs as Orpheus, a character who butts into the show unexpectedly, but he “plays” a stage hand and is the production?s lighting designer.
