***I Fagiolini’s semi-staged take on Purcell’s masterpiece – written when he was just 29. So much variety in a single hour: great tunes, sparkling instrumental interludes, hysterical witches, dance music and of course the great lament, ‘When I am laid in earth’. Purcell’s varied genius is also celebrated in I Fagiolini’s amuse-bouche, perfect miniatures from ‘Britain’s Orpheus’.***

***This event will last approximately 75 minutes, with no interval.***
