About the event

Florent Schmitt’s 1920 sumptuous and atmospheric incidental music to Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra was created for André Gide’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s play about palace intrigue, love, scandal and death. The Â鶹Éç SO joins forces with Shakespeare’s Globe for a very special evening devised by Globe Music Director Bill Barclay, directed by Iqbal Khan and featuring actors from the Globe, offering audiences a rare opportunity to see and hear this highly perfumed and rarely performed work in its dramatic context.
