Event Details
A Magical, Baroque Gem / classic
Henry Purcell’s The Fairy Queen from 1692 is a masterpiece of the masque art form. Inspired by the themes of Shakespeare’s play – poetry, sleep, love, nature and marriage – Purcell weaves song, chorus and dance into five short masques that contain some of his most sublime music. Designed as a popular entertainment in its day, The Fairy Queen is the ideal introduction to Baroque masque.
Join us in a setting rich in history for an innovative performance of one of the precious gems created by England’s greatest composer, featuring a wide array of TMT artists, including dancers, singers, and an instrumental ensemble led from the violin by Larry Beckwith. Directed by Marie-Nathalie Lacoursière.
