Shakespeare alludes to well over one hundred songs in his works, and most educated people of his time could read music. Not surprisingly, over the past four centuries Shakespeare has unwittingly inspired countless creations of music via his plays, sonnets, plots, and themes. Join us for an evening of songs evoked by the Bard, from Purcell’s If Music Be the Food of Love to Porter’s Brush Up Your Shakespeare. Featuring a soprano, alto, tenor, and bass from Legacy Theatre’s core resident company, this cabaret is a toe-tapping delight.
Part of Shakespeare at Yale, a semester of special events celebrating the Bard.
