Mvsica Antica presents Our Own Orpheus

Uniting his works with the Italian masters that inspired him, MVSICA ANTICA perform Henry Purcell ‘s haunting sacred scena In Guilty Night alongside Luigi Rossi’s little-known cantata Disperar di se Stesso, before culminating in a semi-staged performance of some of the songs that earned him the title ‘Orpheus Britannicus’.
