Cambridge Early Music’s 2026 Baroque Summer School performs Purcell’s semi-opera Dioclesian.
Conducted by Laurence Cummings and choreographed by Mary Collins and Kath Waters.
Premiered in 1690, the opera follows the story of Diocles, a foot-soldier in the Roman army who has been prophesied to become Emperor after he kills a mighty boar… A reflection of the universal struggle between love and duty, the opera explores the power of prophecy and the corruption of ambition.
