For 15 years, Armonico Consort has been in demand by festivals in the UK and Europe to perform its inimitable version of Purcell’s Dido & Aeneas. The singers and actors of the company now turn their attention to Purcell’s greatest semi-opera in a brand new semi-staged version with a specially adapted script from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. They create for the first time a modern-day retelling of both of these incredible works in one joyous evening. Armonico Consort will conjure up Purcell’s world of dreams and darkness, love and laughter in a not-to-be-missed evening!
