La libération de Ruggiero de l'île d'Alcina

Valide

A double bill exploring love, freedom and magic from Longborough’s Emerging Artists – a programme that gives a vital opportunity to singers at the beginning of their careers. This production is conducted by Yshani Perinpanayagam, directed by Jenny Ogilvie and featuring CHROMA Ensemble.

Freya Waley-Cohen’s contemporary dramatic song cycle Spell Book is inspired by the composer’s encounter with Rebecca Tamás’ collection of poems, WITCH. Spell Book will be seen at Longborough in its first complete staging, performed by members of the Emerging Artists ensemble.

Francesca Caccini’s La liberazione di Ruggiero dall’isola d’Alcina (The liberation of Ruggiero from the island of Alcina) is the earliest surviving opera composed by a woman: the story of Ruggiero’s betrayal and escape from the sorceress Alcina. La liberazione di Ruggiero will be performed in a new arrangement by conductor Yshani Perinpanayagam.

Please note that this production's start time was previously listed as 5pm. It will now start at 5.30pm.

This production contains some strong language and adult themes.
