Lent Week 3
Written in 1735 as part of Rameau's opera-ballet "Les Indes Gallantes", "Les Incas du Perou" is a succint, exciting and colourful piece of musical theatre. Featuring the cream of Cambridge University's dancers, musicians and singers, and preceded by a recital of baroque sonatas by David Irving and James McVinnie, this evening was described by Varsity as "the best thing I had seen in Cambridge".
