BLOW Venus and Adonis

Barokksolistene’s Bjarte Eike and Hans Knut Sveen make a welcome return to lead students in a dynamic performance of John Blow’s masque for King Charles II. Considered the earliest known English opera, Venus and Adonis takes as inspiration the classic tale of love, loss and rebirth from Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
