This epic work offers up a dizzying array of textures and sonorities in brilliant instrumental writing, opulent choruses and moving solo arias and duets. Hosting a star studded lineup of soloists, Sacred Heart church in Wimbledon, with its cathedal like acoustics and exciting possibilities for spatial effects, is the perfect venue for Monteverdi's monumental drama.
