Rossini’s Mass: Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

O wydarzeniu

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra presents Rossini's magnificent 'Petite Messe Solennelle' with renowned soloists and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir under the baton of Ottavio Dantone.

Gioachino Rossini was a good Catholic boy, but he was also a showman. “Oh Lord” he prayed, “you know as well as I do that I was born to write comic opera”. So when he came to write his “Little Solemn Mass”, he just couldn’t help filling it with cheerful rhythms, brilliant operatic solos and tune after irresistibly hummable tune. Sacred music just doesn’t get any more entertaining than this, and conductor Ottavio Dantone simply adores it. He’s brought with him a hand‐picked team of star soloists who share his love for Rossini; and with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir, the result should be sparkling!

Please note: this concert has no interval and will finish at approx. 8.45pm.
