New Sussex Opera stages Marc-Antoine Charpentier's operatic masterpiece David and Jonathan, bringing this dark Baroque jewel with its achingly beautiful score — sensuous and dancelike by turns — to London and the South for the first time. A biblical tragedy set in a war-torn world, it sees love and duty collide, with David, Jonathan, and Saul caught in a destructive web of desire, politics, and paranoia. This English-language staging reveals a profoundly moving portrait of loyalty and sacrifice, building to a tragic climax. Performed in English. 6pm: pre-performance talk, free to concert ticket holders.
Programme: Charpentier – David and Jonathan
Performers: Harun Tekin (David), Tom Lilburn (Jonathan), Massimo Modoni (Saul), Daniel Chomiak (Achis/Samuel), Naadia Chaichenko (Pythoness), Ambrose Chiu (Joabel), Bellot Ensemble, New Sussex Opera Chorus, Toby Purser (conductor), Paul Higgins (director), Christopher Cowell (translation)
