With a Little Help From Purcell’s A Fairy Queen
BEMF presents another satirical romp by John Frederick Lampe (composer of The Dragon of Wantley) in an all-new production led by GRAMMY-winning Musical Directors Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs, Stage Director and Choreographer Marie-Nathalie Lacoursière, and Concertmaster Robert Mealy.
Period-inspired staging, lavish costumes, and gorgeous Baroque dance bring this hilarious masterpiece to life with an all-star cast of BEMF favorites featuring GRAMMY-winning tenor Aaron Sheehan, soprano Nola Richardson, bass-baritone John Taylor Ward, GRAMMY-nominated tenor Brian Giebler, and tenor Jason McStoots.
“Spellbinding.”
