The St. Mary Schola presents excerpts from Purcell’s masque based on Shakespeare’s
The Tempest, bringing to life the fate of usurping dukes tormented by fiery spirits, the commanding Prospero, the gentle spirit Ariel & the young lovers’ trials. The genius of Monteverdi’s mastery of the madrigals will feature sublime five part madrigals,
later concerted madrigals and a final the toe tapping ballo: Tirsi e Clori.
