Having a me, myself and I evening to see performance of opera Céphale et Procris by Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre (a very talented C17th composer in court of Louis XIV). In Dalston Arcola Theatre part of fab Grimeborn radical opera festival with the talented Ensemble OrQuesta


That’s a wrap on Show No. 2! Join us Arcola Theatre for our remaining performances in the #Grimeborn Opera Festival until the 2nd September 2023. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Stage, Plays to See Céphale et Procris | #EOCéphale Tickets 🎟️ arcolatheatre.com/whats-on/cepha…


What a revelation #CéphaleEtProcris as good as a top Monteverdi opera (and they are very top) critics have written off #ElizabethJacquetDeLaGuerre but the miniscule forces of Ensemble OrQuesta proved them so wrong - better than overrated contemporary Lully, as tuneful as Rameau /1

but #CéphaleEtProcris more personal, tragic, intimate than Rameau, more Monteverdi in fact. Hats off to superbly versatile playing/singing Marcio May da Silva Ensemble OrQuesta for producing such a workable and sympathetic score, aptly minimal staging, choreography and lighting /2

Marcio May da Silva Ensemble OrQuesta The score kept up a classic French baroque tension throughout as the tragedy played out in recit, solos, ravishing duets, stunning trios (the zephyrs, the guys in red) and choruses (the guys in black) /3

Marcio May da Silva Ensemble OrQuesta And we are so privileged to have world class haute-contre Kieran White Arcola Theatre but the others soloists like @PoppySoprano and those at least doubling roles, all contributing to a superb night of drama. Bravo. Five stars from me. Go, it's a very well connected venue! /End

Opera lives, with French baroque passion in deepest Dalston: the ever-adventurous Arcola Theatre grimeborn festival has a UK premiere of 18th-century opera by Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, inventively staged in a tiny space by Ensemble OrQuesta. Some superbly stylish singing.

Feeling a bit of a pioneer here. It was something of a revelation to experience Lully's Armide, staged by Ensemble OrQuesta Arcola Theatre, back in 2017.
