The English Mail CoachJAMES McKAY reads Thomas deQuincey’s largely forgotten 1849masterpiece, The English Mail Coach –an essay in a style de Quinceydescribed as “impassioned prose”,with a symphonic structure (including asplendidly involved fugue section). Itsthree parts begin with de Quincey’sfascinating historical notes on the mailcoach system of his youth, turning atthe hair-raising description of a nearfatal crash before taking off into adelirious fusion of dreams, opiumvisions and memories.

A must for everyone who likesColeridge’s Ryme of the Ancient Mariner – Coleridge and de Quinceywere contemporaries and sometime friends, and had many interests andpreoccupations in common – but finds it faintly unsatisfying.

There will be an interval during which wine and a ‘sandwich’ will beserved.

Arundel Musicwould like to thank the Zimmer Stewart Gallery, our

Musician's Trail householders and our sponsors for

their generous support.

Donizetti’sin the Barons' Hall

Comic Opera sung in English. Fully costumedand specially staged for the concert platformwith The Candlelight Orchestra.

Don Pasquale has his mind set on disinheriting his nephewErnesto and getting himself some heirs of his own. Not only hasPasquale denied his nephew his inheritance, he has also deniedhim permission to marry his love Norina. So, as part of a plot,Norina gets together with Dr Maletesta and poses as the eligiblewife to be, but before the ink is dry on the marriage documents,Norina begins to make Pasquale’s life utterly impossible until heis practically begging Ernesto to take her off his hands.

Candlelight Opera specialise in producing special operaevents inside some of the most beautiful historic houses andperiod venues in and around the UK. Each year, as part of the“Opera in the House” season, Candlelight organise a seasonof performances which include concerts and fully stagedoperas. Donizetti’s three-act masterpiece tells some eternaltruths and has been called a story of love and laughter. Theplots are thickly hatched – mostly at the expense of thewretched Don Pasquale who discovers, in true operatic style,that all is not what it seems.Tickets: £47.00 to include admission to the gardensfrom 5.30pm for picnics and a complimentary glass ofwine during the interval.
