Trials of Tenducci (Wigmore Hall, London)

The IBO and Peter Whelan kick off their 30th anniversary with the story of Tenducci, the superstar castrato who took Dublin by storm in the 18th century. Known originally as the man who taught Mozart to sing, Tenducci moved to Ireland in the 1760s and enraptured audiences with his astonishing castrato voice. Thrown into jail in Cork for eloping with a young student, he was allowed to occasionally leave his imprisonment for the purpose of performing.

Based on original source material, ‘The Trials of Tenducci’ weaves together a vivid concert experience, with music by Mozart, Gluck, Arne and Giordani’s famous Irish Medley. Star countertenor Hugh Cutting joins the energetic forces of the Irish Baroque Orchestra for this night of musical discovery, transporting you to 1760s Dublin.

Wigmore Hall has step free access from Wigmore Street. The foyer, Box Office and stalls are fully wheelchair accessible. A lift takes you from the ground floor down to the lower ground where there is easy access to the Restaurant, Learning Room and toilets. There are 24 stairs leading up to the balcony and this is not accessible by lift. The balcony is unsuitable for wheelchair users and customers who find stairs a challenge.
