Abandon'd Ariadne
Staged live at Holy Trinity Church, Rotherhithe, SE16 5HF
Musica Antica perform extracts from the earliest surviving operas - and the first recitative in Nicholas Lanier which they inspired - alongside a semi-staged performance of Monteverdi's Ballo dell'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.
