“Lucy Crowe dazzles with her every appearance, a young singer blessed with look-at-me-and-listen charisma.” Praise from the Sunday Times for a soprano who is equally at home in the Baroque period and in the Classical era – as this programme of well-known arias from the operas of Handel and Mozart will assuredly demonstrate. David Bates and his period-instrument ensemble La Nuova Musica, who brought last year’s Mozartfest to a memorable end with Haydn’s Creation, provide accompaniments and orchestral interludes.
Book early for this very special event.
