One of the great wits and personalities of the 19th century, Oscar Wilde was sent to prison in 1895 for what was deemed the ‘gross indecency’ of his sexuality. Taking inspiration from the De Profundis (‘Out of the deep’) letter which Wilde wrote during his incarceration, Vache Baroque will explore themes of love, isolation, and redemption in an absorbing journey of words and music.

Poetry and prose from the 17th century to the modern day, including extracts from Wilde’s letter, will be interspersed with songs by Henry Purcell and two deeply moving De Profundis psalm settings by Bach and Zelenka.
