Come and be part of an amazing choral experience performing a stunning concert with Nottingham Festival Chorus!
Conductor: Alex Robinson
Chorus master: Rachel Parkes
Accompanist: Angela Foan
His royal majesty invites you, his most gifted musical servants to perform the very best of Baroque Opera!
This Festival Chorus we will be singing the scrumptious choruses from Handel’s Acis and Galatea and Rameau’s Castor et Pollux, two towering 18th century dramatic works for the stage, performed in the King’s capital by his most esteemed musicians. Evoke the flowing waters and inspire the shepherdess in Handel’s London, then mourn the death of great heroes and explore the horrors of the underworld in Rameau’s Paris.
Don’t miss this bombastic celebration of the giants of early opera! Also featuring music by Lully and Purcell, you’ll get a thorough dose of royal pomp and majesty.
- Mixed choir of 100+ voices, no auditions
- Expertly led, highly enjoyable rehearsal weekends
