It’s hard to imagine a choral work more life-affirming than The Creation, a vision of the universe that embraces both earthworms and angels. Haydn’s uplifting music is enhanced with a compelling visual narrative from leading video and projection designer Nina Dunn.

In an evening celebrating fresh beginnings, the Academy of Ancient Music open their first season under the direction of new Music Director Laurence Cummings, who conducts the ensemble, chorus, and a solo cast featuring some of Britain’s finest singers.
