Handelmania in Dublin: Water Music and more
Friday 09 August 2024
7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
In 1742, an eccentric character called Mr Charles travelled to Dublin and attempted to make a fortune through putting on performances of Handel’s music while the composer himself was in the city. This performance reconstructs a hugely entertaining concert given in Dublin’s Smock Alley Theatre in May that year. As well as well-loved music by Handel, it includes unusual and charming music by his contemporaries and a duet for horn by Mr Charles himself, which we believe he performed with his wife, on their travels as a family.
