Purcell's King Arthur: Festspielhaus Baden‐Baden

About the Event

Experience a streamlined version of Purcell’s masterpiece with Gabrieli Consort & Players under the baton of Paul McCreesh.

Henry Purcell, who only lived to the age of thirty‐six, is considered one of the most original composers of the Baroque era. In a version by singer Klaus Nomi, the “Cold Song” from his King Arthur even made it to the pop charts. We will be presenting the Baroque original in a streamlined version (if all the acting roles were included, it would take half a day), performed by an all‐British ensemble.

In English with English and German subtitles.
