Enter a world of music and mischief with Purcell’s The Fairy Queen, a dazzling semi-opera inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Performed by vocal ensemble The Echoing Air and instrumentalists Music for Awhile, this special abridged version brings together professional musicians and young singers from local Purbeck schools. Set in the beautiful Careys Secret Garden in Wareham, this picnicstyle performance promises an afternoon of spellbinding music, mischievous fairies, and love-struck mortals, with scenery and props made by local primary school children. Enjoy tea and cake while exploring the magical gardens during the extended interval as part of this charming summer event.
