The Northern Ireland Opera Chorus and soloists will be performing with The Ulster Orchestra in their ‘Music for Good Friday’ concert at The Ulster Hall.

The NI Opera Chorus will perform Haydn’s The Seven Last Words of Christ: a deep, contemplative drama based on the events leading up to the crucifixion and the earthquake that marked the moment of Jesus’s death.

The orchestra will also play Richard Strauss’s Metamorphosen for strings is another lament, this time for the destruction wrought in Munich in World War II and the shattering of cultural life as the composer knew it. Full of loss and anguish – but also serenity and majesty – this is music for meditation and reflection this Good Friday.
