At the Stuart court, twelve depraved lovers invade the suburbs of idealized Callipolis and perform an anti-masque of sensual excess. After they are expelled and the place purified, allegorical figures celebrate the ordered, virtuous love of King Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria.
The nine Muses, driven from Greece and Italy by invading forces, wander in search of a new home and find one in Britain, where a welcoming king and queen receive them. The court masque includes comic anti-masques set in a City of Sleep and concludes with an aerial ballet in which Henrietta Maria descends as an Earthly Deity.
The Muses, driven from Greece and Italy, wander until they find a new home in Britain. The court masque surrounds their arrival with grotesque anti-masques and elaborate lighting, ending with the Queen descending from the clouds as the Earthly Deity.
