Overview
We are thrilled to be working with composer Alasdair Nicolson, Early Opera Company and Ignite – Wigmore Hall Learning’s resident ensemble – to develop a new work based on the myths and legends around King Arthur.
Inspired by Purcell’s opera of the same name, the performance features some of the original music alongside newly commissioned work, developed in collaboration with the participants, exploring themes of national heroes and identity within our diverse local community.
