‘If music be the food of love, play on ...’
Shakespeare needs the help of Puck and the Orchestra to get over his writer’s block! The LSO presents a Family Concert in the Barbican Hall based on the great British Bard, 400 years after his death. With music inspired by Shakespeare's plays, performed by the full London Symphony Orchestra and accompanied by a cast of actors, expect love, war, laughter and magic.

This concert is linked to the Orchestra's wider 'Shakespeare 400' series
