The Proms moves east for a celebration of Restoration theatre music at the intimate jewel-box that is the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare’s Globe on London’s Bankside.
This performance offers a chance to get up close with leading performers and Jonathan Cohen’s crack Baroque ensemble, Arcangelo, which makes its Proms debut in works by Purcell, Blow and Locke – including music for Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

Shakespeare-themed works by Purcell, Blow, and Locke, including excerpts from music for ‘Timon of Athens’, ‘The Fairy Queen’ (after ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’) and ‘The Tempest’
Katherine Watson soprano
Samuel Boden tenor
Callum Thorpe bass
Arcangelo
Jonathan Cohen harpsichord/organ/director
Alessandro Talevi, semi-staging
