Part of the BBC Proms. Four hundred years after Monteverdi published his great collection of church music, the assorted choral, vocal and orchestral splendours of what is now universally known as the Vespers of 1610 bring this season's Venetian strand to its spectacular conclusion. With performers ranged around the Arena and Gallery as well as the main stage, Sir John Eliot Gardiner and his Monteverdi Choir return to the music with which they made their Proms debut in 1968, now joined by the expert period instrumentalists of the English Baroque Soloists, and with the additional brass forces of His Majestys Sagbutts and Cornetts.
