| 7.30pm Wilton's Music Hall 1 Graces Alley London E1 8JB United Kingdom Details: Wilton's Music Hall Web site +44 (0) 20 7702 2789 £20 | Dream Hunter Charmian Bedford Caryl Hughes Brian Smith Walters Jeremy Huw Williams Lontano Ensemble Libby Larsen: Trio in Four Movements Annea Lockwood: Monkey Trips Nicola LeFanu: Dream Hunter (libretto by John Fuller) Set in Corsica in the late nineteenth century, the opera Dream Hunter explores the ambiguity surrounding the mazzere – women gifted with the prescience of death. If they foresee death, do they also cause it? The men hunt by day, but the women hunt in their dreams. Angela and Catarina are the daughters of Domenico, a widowed smallholder. Sampiero, son of the mayor, is betrothed to Angela, but it is her younger sister Catarina whom he really desires. The opera turns on a collision of two worlds: the world of dreams, where our fantasy knows no bounds, and the ‘real’ world where our actions will be judged. As the story unfolds, imagination and reality become entwined. |

The Chapel bell, which tolls whenever a bencher dies, has been immortalized in the words of John Donne, the seventeenth century poet and priest who was Preacher of Lincoln's Inn before he became Dean of St Paul's. The Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn is one of four Inns of Court in London to which barristers of England and Wales belong and where they are called to the Bar. The first mention of a Chapel in Lincoln's Inn comes from 1428. The current Chapel was built between 1620 and 1623 by Inigo Jones. |

The orchestra is a judicious mixture of regular Sinfonia players who play on both modern and original instruments with some of the finest period instrument specialists drawn from the same pool as Academy of Ancient Music, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the Gabrieli Consort. The repertoire of the orchestra has expanded steadily to include the standard baroque choral classics including Handel's Messiah, the Bach Passions, numerous oratorios and of course the Brandenburg Concertos. |
