Welcome to 17th-century England, where masks are currency and music reveals more than it conceals about those who wear them. Bill Barclay, Artistic Director of Concert Theatre Works and former Director of Music at Shakespeare’s Globe, joins Opera Lafayette for a masquerade accompanied by songs of longing, satire, devotion, and delicious melancholy, all leading to a single question: who is the impostor?
This immersive evening of intrigue invites you to become anyone but yourself as we converge for a concert of devastating beauty and playful entertainments, with music by Dowland and Campion through Purcell and early Handel.
Costumes are encouraged. Masks will be waiting. Expect wit, revelation, and the pleasure of seeing the greatest impostor of all finally unmasked.
