Psalm 150 and a collection of outrageous 13th-century texts by boisterous young clergyman collide at the Royal Albert Hall in the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra's Prom. 

This was a rapturous celebration of creative instrumentation, virtuosity and brilliance that completely engaged and energized.

L'Orontea was premièred as turbulent Carneval entertainment in 1656. Now it is experiencing a fast-paced new staging as modern opera gag at Frankfurt Opera.
