The Indian Queen is bloedstollend muziektheater uit de 17e eeuw en hoort muzikaal bij het mooiste dat Purcell geschreven heeft. Met Britse acteurs in een inn...

The thrilling musical avant la lettre from the 17th century is one of the last and most haunting compositions by Henry Purcell.

A fascinating theatrical hype swept through 17th-century London: dramatick opera combined spoken drama with music, dance and spectacular sets. The success of these musicals avant-la-lettre was due to the irresistible music of Henry Purcell. Just before his death, the composer was still involved in The Indian Queen, a heroic drama about the battle between the Queen of Mexico and a mysterious Inca General. The blood-curdling intrigue balances between political drama and family saga, and ends in a havoc that could easily compete with the average season finale of Game of Thrones. Director Guy Cassiers took a leap that few have attempted: he embraced The Indian Queen in all its hybridity and gave it a contemporary interpretation. Together with a star cast of singers and actors, and with Emmanuelle Haïm's baroque ensemble Le Concert d'Astrée, Cassiers delivers one of the most successful stagings of dramatick opera today.

Indian Queen by Purcell, From (2023/2023), Directed by Guy Cassiers,, Conductor Emmanuelle Haïm, Opera Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium
