About a work: Paul Agnew on Purcell’s Fairy Queen

Les Arts Florissants’ new production combines choreography from Mourad Merzouki with the vocal ensemble Les Jardins des Voix, turning Purcell’s fantastical work into a sung ballet.

No fairies but lots of magic

Jane Shuttleworth, 12th February

A career woman, a femme fatale, a shop girl, an actor, a teacher, an idler, a biker, a priest, a bank clerk and five circus acrobats. These are not the figures that come to mind when we think of Purcell’s Fairy Queen.
