The King's Consort delights Dutch audience with works from Henry Purcell's English court

Kristen Huebner, 25th April

All too often opera in concert is presented in its most basic format, without the theatricality and staging so characteristic to its execution. However, when a presentation comes along from the likes of The King’s Consort, you can be sure that justice will be served, even without the smoke and mirrors we’ve all grown to love.
