Death of Gesualdo

Death of Gesualdo sees the Gesualdo Six collaborate once more with Bill Barclay’s Concert Theatre Works following the hugely successful Secret Byrd, joined this time by six dancers who enact tableaux vivant and superimpose Gesualdo’s macabre psyche onto his most powerful music. With choreography from Will Tuckett, the programme features Gesualdo’s Tenebrae, with a selection from Madrigal books 1-6, cut and edited by Bill Barclay. Commissioned by The Church of St Martin-in-the-Fields, The National Centre for Early Music in York, and Music Before 1800 in NYC, the project will launch in January 2026.
