Alex joins the chorus with Infinite Opera in their production of Besse: Water, Rye and Hops against the backdrop of the brewing vats at Signature Brew. “An operatic triptych that fights the patriarchy with fermentation, it takes the audience on a musical journey through the rich and forgotten history of women and beer from the comfort of a seat in a local craft brewery taproom”!

Musica Antica Rotherhithe present three raucous madrigal comedies by Alessandro Striggio (1535-1592) and Adriano Banchieri (1568-1634): La Caccia (The Chase), Il Cicalamento delle Donne al Buccato (The Gossip of the Women at the Well) and La Pazzia Senile (The Old Codger). Filled with innuendo and satire of sex, class and society at large, these comedies reveal a fascinating, scandalising glimpse of late sixteenth century Italian urban society that, at times, looks no different to our own, as well as being set to brilliant, rarely-heard music.
