Full Event Details
Actress, soprano, and London stage star Kitty Clive (1711-1785) had a unique command of the Eighteenth century theatre world. Born as Catherine Raftor in 1711 and rising to fame as Mrs. Clive, she negotiated the raucous, fast-moving, and sometimes unforgiving London scene with intelligence and grace. This programme explores her world, shines a light on the vocal genres in which she excelled, and celebrates the vibrancy of mid-Eighteenth century theatre performances through the instrumental publications that they inspired.
