19:00 - 21:00

Handel House Museum's Ensemble-in-Residence Spirituoso will take the audience on a moving journey through elements of art in 18th century Europe, exploring contrasting passions through music on period instruments and Baroque dance. Love, deception, grief and joy are enacted through music and movement, uniting two characters in a forbidden love.

Works by Couperin, Rameau, Lully, Leclair, Monteclair, Marais, Campra, Purcell and Vivaldi. Choreographies by Pecour, Feuillet and Barros.

Ne vous inquietez pas !!!

The entertainment “Fragments de Monsieur de Lully” was a patchwork of Lully’s top hits, interwoven with music by Campra and packed full of song and dance. You might call it a baroque version of “The Best of Lully!” Among its colourful characters were heroes, sea nymphs, shepherds – and the ever-popular figures of the Commedia dell’Arte, with its Harlequins and Scaramouches . In this course, we’ll be learning a Forlana from the work, by Pécour, and exploring how the commedia characters might fit into the staging.
