Purcell: The Fairy Queen

Sunday, 13 July 2025, 8 pm, Neue Aula of Heidelberg University, Universitätsplatz

This summer, the choir Capella Carolina will bring Henry Purcell's The Fairy Queen to the stage - a magical combination of choral music and theatre, inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. ‘Are you sure that we are awake? It seems to me that yet we sleep, we dream’, says Shakespeare's famous comedy - and it is precisely this dreamlike interplay between reality and fantasy that comes to life in the performance. To give the imagination a little boost, visuals will accompany the action!
