About this performance
Oration or Fanfare? That is the Question… Now hear both, together on stage!
From Romeo and Juliet to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare’s love stories are timeless! He inspired great music by Felix Mendelssohn, Hector Berlioz and Tchaikovsky.
Orchestra Lumos brings you both the music and the Bard’s immortal words together on one stage!
Michel Gill and Jayne Atkinson, husband and wife and acclaimed stars of stage and TV including House of Cards, will co-host this event! They will guide us through music that reflects how we engage with each other and how complicated human relations can be — with music that ultimately reveals the redemptive power of love.
You will be moved and embraced by the interplay of Shakespeare’s words and the music he inspired.
