Israel in Egypt
The Elysian Singers and Players bring you Handel’s choral showpiece Israel in Egypt, which was for many years second only to Messiah in popularity, owing no doubt to the dramatic choral and solo writing characteristic of a supreme master of the stage. Plagues of flies, frogs, hailstones, locusts and blisters; the parting of the Red Sea; and the Israelites’ miraculous escape as the Pharaoh’s horsemen and chariots are ‘thrown into the sea’. Truly a biblical epic not to be missed!
