King Arthur – A tale of love and magic

Step into a world where myth, music, and imagination intertwine.

Presented by Resonance Choir, Purcell’s King Arthur is reimagined in a striking semi-staged performance that blends the richness of baroque music with a fresh, atmospheric vision.

At its heart is a story of love tested by forces beyond the human world — of enchantment, devotion, and the fragile boundary between reality and illusion. Through a pared-back, evocative staging, the audience is invited into a shared imaginative space where ritual, memory, and myth converge.

Expect moments of haunting beauty and vivid musical storytelling, as nymphs, spirits, and unseen forces emerge alongside a cast of outstanding soloists and Wellington Baroque Musicians.

This is King Arthur reimagined — intimate, immersive, and emotionally resonant.
