Proms At... Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare's Globe

As part of the BBC Proms 2016, Arcangelo, directed by Jonathan Cohen, are live from the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare's Globe, in music by Purcell, Blow and William Locke.

From one of London’s biggest auditoriums to one of its smallest, the Proms moves east for a celebration of Restoration theatre music at the intimate jewel-box that is the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare’s Globe on London’s Bankside. This performance offers a chance to get up close with leading performers and Jonathan Cohen’s crack Baroque ensemble, Arcangelo, which makes its Proms debut in works by Purcell, Blow, Locke and Draghi – including music for Shakespeare’s The Tempest.
