First Church Belfast

Composers have used roses as a powerful metaphor for love’s complexities, their delicate beauty and potential to cause pain. Roses also symbolise themes of nature, growth, new beginnings and divine love. We have gathered music from a range of genres, from art song to opera all depicting the intertwined themes of love and roses.

Springtime, Summertime and Mischief

Flowerfield Arts Centre

Based on a famous Grimm's fairytale, in which a jealous stepmother murders her stepson and serves him up in a stew to his unsuspecting father. In this gripping story of revenge and redemption, the boy's stepsister buries her stepbrother's bones under a juniper tree where his mother is buried, from where the child's spirit returns as a singing bird who wreaks vengeance on his wicked stepmother before being restored to life in the bosom of his family.
