Join the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra, 麻豆社 Singers and stellar soloists for one of the most popular works in the British choral repertoire: Mendelssohn鈥檚 Elijah.

Dubbed the 鈥楳essiah of its day鈥�, Mendelssohn鈥檚 Elijah was an instant hit and the most popular oratorio of the nineteenth century.

Elijah tells the dramatic story of this inspirational and complex Old Testament prophet 鈥� single-minded yet full of doubts, an angry zealot who showed compassion and kindness.

Mendelssohn鈥檚 visionary music depicts storms, earthquakes, floods and a chariot of fire 鈥� plus moments of tender consolation. Sir Simon Keenlyside, one of the UK鈥檚 leading operatic singers, brings this flesh-and-blood character vividly to life, supported by a stellar cast.
