Love, Wisdom, Peace

There’s little that can match the musical splendour of Handel’s Solomon. Set in a golden age of peace, piety and prosperity, Solomon is celebrated for its lush orchestration, expansive double choruses, and vivid characterisation of the biblical king’s reign.

First performed in 1749, Solomon is an extravagant oratorio, that illustrates the remarkable range and flexibility of Handel’s technique. In three acts his musical tableaus brilliantly portray Solomon’s wisdom and leadership.

Under the direction of Peter Bandy, Heidelberg Choral Society & orchestra will be joined by mezzo soprano Naomi Flatman; sopranos Rebecca Rashleigh, Teresa Ingrilli and Lisette Bolton; tenor Timothy Reynolds and bass baritone Nicholas Dinopoulos.

Don’t miss the pomp and majesty of Handel’s Solomon.
