The oratorio Athalia was written by George Frideric Handel, based on the French dramatist, Jean Racine’s play from 1691. The Old Testament story, which also features in the Book of Kings and the Book of Chronicles, is set in the time of the queens who ruled the land of Israel and worshipped the god Baal. The last of these was the tyrant Athaliah whose downfall is recounted in the oratorio. Athalia was written eight years before The Messiah, Handel's best-known and most popular oratorio, but according to György Vashegyi, founding conductor of the Purcell Choir and the Orfeo Orchestra, Athalia it is the more superior composition.
Enjoy to the story of Athalia in the performance of Capella Savaria and the Purcell Choir on 16 January at the Kodály Centre.
The prologues starts before the concert at 6pm to which all is welcome!
