The Baroque era comes alive in Tafelmusik’s House of Dreams, a stunning exploration of music, art and drama.

Alison Mackay (creator of The Galileo Project) has woven together a magical journey that allows audiences to step into the world of Bach and Vivaldi by imaginatively ‘visiting’ five historic European houses. On the walls hung works by Vermeer, Canaletto and Watteau; the airy rooms rang to the sounds of the finest composers and performers.

In these concerts, the music is provided by the period instruments of the renowned Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra. Accompanied by images from London, Paris, Delft, Leipzig and Venice, House of Dreams draws us into the very buildings where the great composers and their patrons once walked, played, and listened, and includes detailed projections of the now-famous paintings that they would have known when new.

Narrator Blair Williams is the tour guide, leading us through the hallways and salons, sharing stories of the people who lived, worked and dreamed in these remarkable homes.
