About this event
A touring concert from Dunedin Consort explores the operatic culture of 18th‑century London with Handel at its heart. The programme frames virtuosity and lyricism through the celebrated rivalry of Italian stars Francesca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bordoni, set alongside London’s fashionable audiences and expanding musical ambitions. Soprano Nardus Williams joins director John Butt and the Dunedin Consort for a sequence that balances Handel’s instrumental and vocal writing with pieces by Giovanni Bononcini. The programme order is fixed across performances in Perth, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. BSL interpretation is provided in Perth and Glasgow, and the Glasgow date includes a pre‑concert talk with John Butt at 18:30.
