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

Bachtrack, 5th September

The Fairy Queen at the Theater an der Wien

Zwölftöner, 1st March

The ‘semi-opera’ was an English musical and spoken theatre hybrid which by the end of the 17th century had begun to scrape the bottom of Restoration drama’s literary barrel, and by the 18th had been rendered obsolete by efforts to introduce the English to formal opera from the continent.
