Insieme Chamber Ensemble present Mozart’s delightful comic chamber opera, Bastien and Bastienne, outside on the beautiful Tea Lawn as part of part of this year’s Highgate Festival

Bastien and Bastienne was written by Mozart when he was only 12, purportedly for a performance in the Garden Theatre of the famous ‘Magnetist’ Dr Mesmer. It’s a simple and delightful tale about the trials of Bastien and his shepherdess love Bastienne, with additional mesmeric magic from the Wizard Colas plus plenty of other mischief. Waterlow Park’s Tea Lawn, where a Shepherd and Shepherdess are already in residence as statues, is the ideal setting for this lovely pastoral piece.

Come along for a charming summer evening’s entertainment on the Tea Lawn outside Lauderdale House, performed by our resident Chamber Opera Ensemble, Insieme.

As part of this year’s Highgate Festival, Blacktooth Productions present Highgate Histories at Lauderdale House on 19 June.

Blacktooth specialise in literary readings washed down with rollicking anecdotes and live music. For one night only they present an offbeat celebration of an area known for its vivid history and illustrious residents. The programme includes pieces by Dickens, Marvell, Coleridge and Christina Rossetti, along with tales of Highgate’s Great and Good (and not so good) and episodes from the area’s occasionally murky past – some of them with a direct bearing on Lauderdale House.

Weekly drop-in Hatha yoga classes suitable for all levels, beginners welcome. Come and practice some lovely postures in a safe environment that will leave you feeling uplifted and refreshed. I am certified by the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY) and classes include a mixture of pranayama, postures and relaxation with focus on correct alignment. The steady flow of postures will improve your strength and flexibility. Mats, blocks and bricks provided or you are welcome to bring your own.
