HARRY Potter and Father Brown actor Mark Williams will join Armonico Consort in a new version of Purcell’s King Arthur at Warwick’s Collegiate Church of St Mary on Thursday June 18.
He will be Merlin the magician narrating the legend of King Arthur, alongside the choir and instrumental ensemble performing the music of Purcell
Founder director of Armonico Consort, Christopher Monks said: “Building on the tremendous success of our earlier semi-staged Purcell performances, we return with his opera King Arthur, reimagined in true Armonico Consort style – fresh, vibrant and alive for today’s audiences. It promises to be a wonderfully entertaining midsummer evening for devoted Purcell fans, and for families looking for a great night out!”
Renowned actor, comedian and screenwriter Williams is best known for playing Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter series and in the title role of the BBC drama Father Brown. A long-time collaborator with the Warwick-based Armonico Consort, Williams has previously narrated the group’s acclaimed musical drama Beowulf.
