Everyone has always questioned whether or not King Arthur was actually a real historical figure. It's a debate that has gone on since the Renaissance. The Tudor monarchs traced their lineage to Arthur. Arthur was used as a justification for their reign. It has been generally assumed that there actually was a person at the heart of the legends. However, they are not so sure he was an actual king with a band of knights in shining armor.
It is believed that Arthur gained notarity as a warrior that battled Germanic invaders in the late fifth and early sixth centuries. However, there is no conclusive evidence for or against Arthur, so the debate continues. Arthur's influence on literature, art, music and society from the Middles Ages to present can not be denied. He is a legendary figure of the late Middle Ages that has captured the imagination.
The Virginia Opera is presenting Lerner and Loewe's enchanting melodies in a modern production that is one of the American Musical Theater's classics that includes a 1500 year old legend, bringing it into the Twenty First Century.
King Arthur and Queen Guenevere live an idyllic life until Lancelot arrives on the scene. Lancelot sets in motion events that will forever change the course of the entire kingdom. This is adapted from T. H. White's epic “The Once and Future King”. This story unfolds the story of the greatest love triangle of all time and includes such hits as “I Loved You Once in Silence” and “If Ever I would Leave You.”
