With a string of sell-out shows behind it and voted The Times' Must See Concert, The Armonico Consort are obviously doing something right with Purcell's comic opera The Fairy Queen.

Inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, it was first performed in all its bawdy baroque glory in 1692.

Shortly after Purcell's death in 1695, the score mysteriously disappeared without trace and lay undiscovered for two centuries.

Now, modern masters of the baroque repertoire The Armonico Consort bring to life the anarchic spirit and visual spectacle of Purcell's 17th-century mini-opera in a modern fusion of opera, puppetry, dance and aerial acrobatics.

The production gives The Fairy Queen a modern setting in a hospital, an environment which naturally encompasses the range of emotions seen in Purcell's piece.

Over the years The Armonico Consort has established itself among the foremost interpreters of Baroque and Renaissance music, gaining a reputation for staging superb concerts in atmospheric settings.

This, their latest creation - which in Purcell's day would have been performed between acts of A Midsummer Night's Dream - is given extra gusto from the Orchestra of the Baroque.

Performing on period instruments, the orchestra brings an extra sprinkling of fairy dust to one of Purcell's grandest works.
