Henry Purcell was (possibly) born #OTD in 1659. So here's David Pountney's 1995 ENO production of The Fairy Queen, conducted by Nicholas Kok, with Yvonne Kenny and Tom Randle heading a fabulous cast. It was deemed controversial in its day, but I loved it and still do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7zk4aZsVWI @classicalmusic #Purcell #FairyQueen
