Performer: Iestyn Davies

The music plays second fiddle to Australian circus company Circa in Yaron Lifschitz’s production of Gluck's great opera. 

Returning from the original run, Christopher Purves and Iestyn Davies were joined by a strong cast and chorus for a revival of Barrie Kosky's striking production.

Iestyn Davies shows how to make every word count in a fairly standard sampler of Baroque arias; Ticciati is a fireball on the podium with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.

The Artistic Director of London's multi-genre hall gives us insights into how she builds a programme, about keeping concerts going during the pandemic and hopes for next year's London Unwrapped.
