Our tireless Music Director, David Angus, took time to do some on-site research for The Love Potion...on his honeymoon! Here is a shot of him at Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, England, which has long been associated with Arthurian legends (including Tristan and Iseult). Here is what he has to say about the music in The Love Potion: This is the opposite extreme from Wagner’s extravagantly rich score - just 12 singers and 8 instrumentalists - but it is still very powerful and atmospheric, and very much faster moving! In theory it is complex and atonal, but in reality it is much closer to the string quartets of Debussy and Ravel in instrumental sound, with beautiful songs for soloists or chorus and piano superimposed. The music has great beauty and drama, on an intimate scale in which every detail is very telling.
