The great Baroque-Drama by Georg Friedrich Händel will be performed at the Altstadtherbst Festival Düsseldorf 2008.

Händel's, 1739, premiered Oratorium „Israel in Egypt“ belongs to one of the magnificent choir compositions in sacral music. You will listen to Händel's unique interpretation when the "frogs" and "mosquitos" plague comes to Egypt - it's a real musical bible-thriller!

Enjoy this adventure of sacral music and its happy-end with Wolfgang Abendroth, the Düsseldorfer Kammerchor, the altstadtherbst orchester and great soloists!
