Bristol Baroque Festival – The Imperfect Pearl: A Baroque Fairytale or The Life and Music of Domenico Zipoli

On hearing about the concept of Mark Latimer’s The Imperfect Pearl or Perola Barroca, I wasn’t sure what to expect. This UK première told the tale and music history of Baroque composer Domenico Zipoli in a two-and-a-half-hour show. An open mind was certainly necessary for this Baroque musical fairytale.
