About this event

This concert presents Henry Purcell’s semi-opera King Arthur (1691) under the musical direction of Hervé Niquet with his ensemble Le Concert Spirituel. The evening opens with Purcell’s solemn Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary (1695), setting a historical and emotional tone before moving into the mythical world of King Arthur. In this concert format, the emphasis is on Purcell’s dazzling vocal and orchestral interludes rather than staged spoken drama, offering a focused immersion in Baroque brilliance. The performance is sung in English with French surtitles.
