Happy memories of a fabulous evening at Auditorio Nacional de Música, Madrid - our second performance of Monteverdi's Coronation of Poppea. Thank you for having us and thanks too to all the cast, players and Harry Bicket.

Last night at Palau de la Musica Catalana at the end of the first of two performances of Monteverdi’s Coronation of Poppea. A glorious audience and beautifully warm applause.

This March we’re heading to Catalonia and Madrid for two performances of Monteverdi’s Coronation of Poppea, then back to London for Handel’s Brockes Passion at St George’s Hannover Square, London. 🎟️Tickets englishconcert.co.uk/diary/

Edward Breen's July review of our Serse recording is one of Gramophone's Recordings of the Year. Warm words much appreciated. 'The superb cast is led by Emily D'Angelo, whose opening aria - beautifully controlled and rich in tone will not disappoint.' prestomusic.com/classical/prod…
