Ashley Riches Argante
Rachael Wilson Armida
Andy Shen Liu Araldo/Donna/Magician
Harry Bicket conductor
Love, war, and other enchantments: the warrior-hero of Handel’s Rinaldo battles sorcery as well as altogether more sensuous enemies. Rinaldo was Handel’s first Italian opera, and this fantastic tale of witchcraft, warfare and passion took London by storm when it opened – just around the corner from St Martin-in-the-Fields – in 1711. Handel used the finest performers of his day, and for this concert performance The English Concert is taking the same approach, with a cast that stars Mary Bevan and the ‘ravishing’ countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen. Handel at the top of his game – back in the West End after 314 years!

Gabrieli Consort & Players: Purcell’s Fairy Queen
The spells are undone, the lovers are united. Now Oberon weaves a new enchantment – an entertainment without parallel beneath the starlit canopy of a summer night. Purcell’s The Fairy Queen is A Midsummer Night’s Dream, but not remotely as you know it – there’s no Shakespeare, for a start! – and Paul McCreesh adores its wit, its magic and its sensuality. ‘I can’t think of anyone who could give a better rendition of this Restoration “feel-good” masterpiece’ says Presto Classical, but hear for yourself, in this exuberant concert performance.

And with artists as fine as these, every note, every chorus and every beloved melody will sound more inspiring than ever.

The Gesualdo Six/Bill Barclay: Death of Gesualdo

Six dancers
Created and directed by Bill Barclay
Choreographed by Will Tuckett
Produced by Concert Theatre Works
Following 25 cities of sold-out performances, The Gesualdo Six reunite with director Bill Barclay to create a follow-up to the hit international immersive tour, Secret Byrd. Early music’s infamous sociopath, Renaissance prince Carlo Gesualdo, was a composer of stunning originality, but best known for the macabre murder of his wife and her lover. In this astonishingly bold theatrical concert, six dancers enact stunning tableaux vivants mapping Gesualdo’s psyche onto his most chilling music, the Tenebrae Responses.

Bach St John Passion
Monteverdi Choir
English Baroque Soloists
Peter Whelan conductor
Filled with emotion, a survivor of great and terrible events tells his tale. As he sings of betrayal and death, the choir becomes an angry crowd, and even the audience is drawn into the unfolding drama. This is Bach’s St John Passion; a masterpiece that speaks to the hearts and spirits of listeners of all faiths and none. Few performers understand this music more deeply; today, for the first time, they perform it under the direction of a true legend of early music, the inspirational Peter Whelan.

Domenico Scarlatti Stabat Mater for 10 voices
The Sixteen
Harry Christophers director
Lent is supposed to be a time of reflection and austerity, but everything’s relative, and in Portugal, in the 17th and 18th centuries, those weeks of fasting were the pretext for a feast of sacred music at its most emotionally-charged. Harry Christophers and his world-famous chamber choir The Sixteen invite us to the banquet today, and music as glorious as Lotti’s Crucifixus needs no introduction. But that’s just for starters. Savour yearning melodies, lush harmonies and soaring, impassioned prayers from Melgás, Caldara and Rebelo, as well as the blossoming, endlessly expressive imagination of Domenico Scarlatti.

Allegri Miserere
Barber Adagio for Strings
Poulenc Quatre Motets pour un temps de pénitence
MacMillan The Seven Last Words from the Cross Tenebrae
Britten Sinfonia
Nigel Short conductor
Barber’s Adagio and Allegri’s Miserere prepare the way for James MacMillan’s great Passion meditation, in this emotionally-charged evening from Nigel Short and Tenebrae. For Sir James MacMillan, ‘beauty is at the heart of our Christian faith’, and few living composers communicate with such emotional directness – taking ancient texts and charging them with a wholly original intensity, wonder and imaginative fire. Composed in 1994, his Seven Last Words have already become a classic. Now, on the eve of Holy Week, Britten Sinfonia join Nigel Short and Tenebrae for a superbly-imagined sequence of musical meditations.
Tickets: £55, £40, £30, £25, £16, £10
TUESDAY 31 MARCH, 7:30PM
The Gesualdo Six: Pärt Passio
Pärt Passio
The Gesualdo Six
Choral Scholars of St Martin-in-the-Fields
Owain Park director
Arvo Pärt once asked a streetcleaner what a contemporary composer should do. The answer? ‘He should love every note.’ The result was Passio – a retelling of Christ’s Passion in which every note matters, every emotion is sincere, and even the darkest sorrow has an inner light. Heartfelt, luminous and serene, Passio is a masterpiece for our time and for all time, and when the Gesualdo Six and St Martin’s own choirs performed it here in 2022 it made a deep impression – ‘ecstatic’, in the words of one critic. Spiritual refreshment, from the deep, quiet soul of a legend among living composers.
