Abandon'd Ariadne
Staged live at Holy Trinity Church, Rotherhithe, SE16 5HF
Musica Antica Rotherhithe perform extracts from the earliest operas, centred on the laments of three wronged heroines from ancient Greek myth: Giulio Caccini and Jacopo Peri’s L’Euridice (1600); Claudio Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo (1607) and L’Arianna (1608); Marco da Gagliano’s La Dafne (1608), and followed by a complete performance of Monteverdi’s Ballo delle Ingrate.
As ever, a bar selling wine, soft drinks and Holy Trinity's famous home-infused gins will be open from 7pm.
This concert will finish at 9:10pm.
