ATHALIA
 Join us for the Handelian equivalent of a soap opera! - Athalia, Handel’s dramatic third oratorio. Athalia is a murderous idol worshipper, intent on eradicating the Jewish line of David. She manages to kill all but one of the heirs to the throne, Joas, who has been raised by Josabeth, wife of Joad the high priest, who has managed to keep Joas’ identity a secret. The storyline involves the emergence of Joas as the rightful heir to the throne, ending in a revolt that overthrows Athalia.
“Athalia is fresh and flexible, exciting and innovative”. Come and experience the dramatic conclusion to our 45th season. The performance features the Sidgwick Scholars of the Orpheus Choir as soloists, and is accompanied by the Talisker Players.

Got a comment?: sign our Guestbook “The Orpheus Choir presentation of silent film and choral music was most exciting…the visuals did not divert my attention from the splendid array of French choral music. The sound of the choir was excellent in that acoustic. Their obvious involvement in the whole experiment resulted in a spirited performance. Well done!" Walter Pitman, O.C. O. Ont, and Author
