This year’s central work for the La Pellegrina Baroque Summer School is Purcell's semi-opera King Arthur. King Arthur will be performed ‘semi-staged’ in the Vokův sál, Bechyně castle's splendid historic hall. King Arthur is about the early history of the British Empire, namely the kings Arthur and Oswald vying for the Grail. In the famous stammer aria cold Oswald melts for the beautiful Emmeline, the guardian of the Grail. When she makes clear that her heart already belongs to King Arthur, Oswald decides to abduct her.
