Cavalleria rusticana / Pagliacci

Opéra Berlioz

An unprecedentedly popular oratorio: the story of the sufferings of the enslaved Israelites in Egypt and their determination to free themselves is awe-inspiring. No hero appears, even Moses himself remains in the background; the chorus alone describes the action. This work announces Handel’s inner volte-face, which is then fully expressed in Messiah. A chance to hear the inspiring Hervé Niquet and his Concert Spirituel in Halle for the first time.
