Programme notes

Nicholas Mulroy director
Academy Baroque Soloists

This fantastical journey will include extracts from Purcell’s music for the stage and semi-operas exploring themes of love, magic, myth, authority, nature and transformation, weaving together narrative threads from The Fairy Queen, King Arthur and one of the first ever stage dramatisations of Cervantes’ novel Don Quixote, which features Purcell’s last ever song setting: ‘From rosy bowers’.
