Details

The Fairy Queen is based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and is a mixture of opera and ballet played out in a succession of human and mythological scenes in all its Baroque splendour. The Armonico Consort bring to life the anarchic spirit and visual spectacle of Purcell's enchanting 17th century masterpiece in a fully staged modern fusion of opera, puppetry and dance. Performing on period instruments, the Orchestra of the Baroque also brings an authentic vibrancy to Purcell's exquisite score.
