Step into a magical midsummer evening where music, myth, and nature meet.
Following the huge success of their acclaimed semi-staged
Purcell productions, Armonico Consort return with a bold and beautiful
reimagining of King Arthur — presented in their unmistakable style: fresh,
vibrant, and alive for today’s audiences. Set against the breathtaking backdrop
of the Confetti Flower Fields, this open-air performance promises an
unforgettable operatic experience. Narrated
by Oz Clarke (see bio below) with a newly written script by the gifted William Towers,
the legendary tale of King Arthur is retold with warmth, wit, and imagination,
seamlessly interwoven with Purcell’s glorious music. The result is a
performance that feels both timeless and thrillingly new—perfect for devoted
Purcell fans and equally enchanting for families and first-time opera-goers
