Montéclair's Jephthah at the Palace of Arts in Budapest
About the Event
Enjoy a break from your routine and join the Purcell Choir and Orfeo Orchestra in a unique lyric performance of Montéclair's Jephthah at the Béla Bartók National Hall.
The figure of Jephthah is familiar from the Old Testament's Book of Judges. When discussing musical treatments of the story, music listeners would previously always think of the oratorios by Carissimi or Handel. This concert offers the opportunity to encounter another musical setting that came eight decades after Carissimi's Jephte and two decades before Handel's Jephta.
