Smiths@Belco: Glorious! A Handel Celebration

Overview

Discover the man behind Messiah, Water Music and the Coronation Anthems and meet some of the artists he collaborated with in Glorious! a beautifully inventive Salon experience using narration, music, mime and masks to magically recreate the experience of 18th century London where Handel’s influence was arguably greater than any monarch’s. Countertenor and host Tobias Cole, along with his Salon players, including acclaimed soprano Ayşe Göknur Shanal, Baroque violinist John Ma, harpsichordist Marie Searles and pantomimist Marcel Cole will transport you as they explore the extraordinarily rich life of George Frederic Handel.

Citynews arts writer Helen Musa will lead a discussion after the show with Tobias and the other performers. And to finish there will be a rousing encore.
