Sellars takes Purcell\u2019s glorious but incomplete score and incorporates some of the composer\u2019s most ravishing sacred and secular pieces, adding vibrant set designs from graffiti artist Gronk and a text based on Nicaraguan author Rosario Aguilar\u2019s novel\u00a0The Lost Chronicles of Terra Firma<\/em>.<\/p>\n
