A stunning program combining works written for royalty; from Charpentier in France to Purcell in England, this music shines with majestic grandeur and promises sheer delight.
The first of Pinchgut Opera’s rescheduled performances from 2020, this is music fit for royalty. Charpentier’s majestic Te Deum was written in honour of the Sun King, Louis XIV, and its grandeur and elegance reflect the magnificence of his palace at Versailles. Across the Channel, written just one year later, Purcell’s Come, Ye Sons of Art celebrates the birthday of Queen Mary with music of sheer pleasure.
