Rare Dryden-Purcell Masque Coming
John Dryden by Godfrey Kneller Boston has a thriving opera scene, but performances of masques and English Baroque semi-operas are a rare treat. On Saturday Nov. 19th, the Henry Purcell Society of Boston, Boston Poet’s Theater, and the Arcadia Players team up for John Dryden’s 1691 play King Arthur with Henry Purcell’s original dramatic music performed on period instruments at Cathedral Church of Saint Paul, Boston.

The second work, by Christopher Simpson (below, c. 1606-1669), explores “divisions” or variations tossed back and forth between two bass viols (gambas) while they simultaneously repeat a ground bass. The second half of the program will feature songs for tenor and voice by John Dowland (below). We’ll […]
