Musica Antica Rotherhithe

L'Humanità Redenta, or Humanity Redeem'd

The first performance of Antonio Draghi's masterpiece in miniature since 1669

Musica Antica present Antonio Draghi's L'Humanità Redenta, a gorgeous dialogue between humanity and hope, for the first time since its performance during Holy Week in 1669.

Little-known today, Draghi was one of the most prolific composers of his day, emigrating to Vienna shortly after the production of his first opera in Venice in 1668, and remaining there at the Imperial court until his death in 1708. While many of his operas survive, they are often in a fragmentary state, and L'Humanità Redenta represents a work which has survived complete.

As ever, a bar selling wine, soft drinks and Holy Trinity's famous home-infused gins will be open from 7pm.

This concert will finish at 9:10pm.
