A colourful kaleidoscope of vocal fireworks

Soprano Jeanine De Bique – the perfect partner in pleasure for the adventurous B'Rock – enchants us with a programme full of metamorphoses, penned by the three Baroque heroes: Lully, Purcell and Handel. Excerpts from the operas Dido and Aeneas, Alcina, The Fairy Queen, Amadis and others recount tales of (un)happy loves and their divine consequences, for better or for worse. B'Rock Orchestra and their Vocal Consort bring us musical storytelling at its best.
