Anthony Payne’s brilliant picture of insect life is the overture to two works in which music becomes theatre. Sally Beamish hinges her lively and expressive music on a dramatic spoken text based on the seven deadly sins, after which Peter Maxwell Davies’s great classic takes us reeling into the madness of King George III.
