La Fonte Musica returns to BREMF with a performance of Monteverdi’s Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda – a dramatic and heart-wrenching narrative of romantic love forged amidst religious conflict.
This concert has been made possible by a legacy from BREMF’s late artistic director Deborah Roberts, who was passionate about the music of Monteverdi and about building links between Brighton audiences and performers from across Europe.
There will be no interval in this concert which will last approximately 90 minutes.
