If you’re a fan of monumental epics, you’ve come to the right place. Or do you love virtuoso voices and impressive choruses? In that case, too, you shouldn’t miss the performance of George Frideric Handel’s »Belshazzar«, a dramatic story from the Bible: The blasphemous ruler throws lavish feasts until, out of nowhere, a hand appears to proclaim his downfall. An outstanding British ensemble, the Dunedin Consort, brings this rarely performed oratorio to life with a cast of excellent singers.
