Review: York Early Music Festival, Early Opera Company, Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall, University of York, July 5
THE Entente Cordiale theme to this year’s York Early Music Festival found an ideal setting on Saturday evening, in two mythological Baroque operas presented by the Early Opera Company. Director and harpsichordist Christian Curnyn led consummate performances of Charpentier’s ‘Actéon’ and Purcell’s ‘Dido and Aeneas’ to a full house.
