Masques and Triumphs – Music for the Restoration Theatre
It is something of a cliche that “The Devil has all the best tunes” but if you need convincing join Leeds Baroque and director Peter Holman for programme of musical scenes from plays produced in London during the Restoration period performed on period Instruments. Music includes; from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, the Masque of Devils from Thomas Shadwell’s spectacular operatic version.There is more drama with the rarely performed Temple Scene from Bonduca (1695) and the hilarious (drunken) Poet’s Scene from The Fairy Queen (1692). Celebrating Leeds 400, we include pieces from a manuscript of Restoration theatre music now in Leeds City Library .
Tickets for students and young people are FREE so bring the Family!
2:00pm: The Concert will be introduced with a pre-concert talk “Music in the Restoration Theatre” given by Prof Alan Howard (Cambridge University) Free to ticket Holders
