The Fairy Queen Purcell

Henry Purcell's "The Fairy Queen" is a Baroque musical work filled with lively dancing. For the performance with Les Arts Florissants, William Christie, and the Soloists from the "Jardin des Voix" 2023, said dancing was entrusted to choreographer Mourad Merzouki and dancers from Compagnie Käfig and student dancers of the Juilliard School. This resulted in an enchanting eveneing of baroque-meets-hip-hop.

Les Arts Florissants’ new production of Purcell’s masterpiece invites us to plunge into an enchanting and playful universe — an enchanted forest where reality mingles with dreams, illusion, and the supernatural, as young people gather to indulge in the magic of nature. As the tunes and dances unfold, the boundaries between dancers, singers, and musicians become blurred … leading to the creation of an egalitarian and fraternal community, united by the joy of music. Renowned for his fusion of classical influence and contemporary innovation, French-Algerian choreographer Mourad Merzouki’s staging promises a unique, visually spectacular, and emotionally powerful evening.
