Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment with Julia Bullock

Presented by Saffron Hall

Tickets from £15

Price includes a commission of £1.00

Julia Bullock is a star soprano for our times, who 'communicates intense, authentic feeling, as if she were singing right from her soul', according to Opera News. She is a natural storyteller, blending vocal agility with a charismatic stage presence.

Perfect then for a selection of some of the greatest baroque songs and arias, including impassioned laments from Purcell and Strozzi. They are intertwined with orchestral interludes, including ‘Spring’ from The Four Seasons.
