Death on the Hills

We summon you on Sunday, November 1st at 7 p.m. to the Great Hall, where a cortège of excommunicated choristers gathers to ask a question the living cannot answer: what happens when we die? Witches, friars, hermits, and heathens convene on hallowed grounds, reckoning with the fear and fascination of what lies beyond the veil.  As our pilgrims explore immortal works from Verdi’s otherworldly telling of Macbeth to Elgar’s eerie choral apologue Death on the Hills, fear, peace, judgment, and relief are unearthed as Death and his shadowy train ride across the hill.

Featuring Nicholas Borg, Victoria Borg, Ryan Downey, Gwenna Fairchild-Taylor, Claire Harris, Leanne Kaufman, John Kirby, Megan Quick, and Daevyd Pepper.

Works by Elgar, Verdi, Barber, Clarke, Britten, Heggie, and more.

This is a general admission event, with all seating first-come, first served. 

There will be English surtitles for all works not performed in English.

The hall is accessible by elevator, and there is an accessible washroom on the same floor. For elevator access, speak with security when you arrive.

If you have any other accessibility requirements or concerns, please reach out to us at deathonthehills@gmail.com.
