At the turn of the seventeenth century the Italians masters redefined their musical landscape creating sumptuous and breathtakingly beautiful music. Virtuosic melodies with florid and expressive songs dramatically woven by the new Baroque and richly adorned with an exhilarating palate of instrumental colours. La Compañia on their splendid period instruments will journey to the Italian north with the stylish and lavish music of Claudio Monteverdi along with the refined delights of his contemporaries.

Faith, knowledge and power collide in this brand new opera by Richard Mills that examines the fortunes of one of the world’s greatest thinkers.
A complex life which came into conflict with the political and religious powers of the day, Galileo is a searching meditation on questions of faith in a violent, hostile and uncertain world.
With the combined forces of La Compañia and Orchestra Victoria, and starring Victorian Opera favourite, baritone Samuel Dundas as Galileo — this project will celebrate the artistic legacy of Richard Mills.
