Approvato

Journey with the OAE through calm seas, auspicious gales and supernatural elements.

Purcell’s music has been curated by the musicians of the OAE to provide a dramatic counterpoint to a reading of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by actor Rory Kinnear (The Imitation Game, Quantum of Solace).

Travel and the idea of leaving home left a deep impression on the British mindset in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Purcell imagined distant worlds – timeless and brave, new and old – in his operas The Fairy Queen, King Arthur, The Tempest and Dido and Aeneas.

Meanwhile, the promise of adventure on the high seas as a symbol for spiritual discovery is found throughout literature of the Enlightenment – think Candide, Gulliver’s Travels and the emergence of the travelogue.

It reached a peak around the time of Cook’s landing in Australia and exploration of Antarctica, and The Rime was published not long after, in 1798.
