SUMMARY:Elijah by Mendelssohn
DESCRIPTION:To quote a review published in The Times shortly after the premiere at Birmingham Town Hall in 1846\, ‘The last note of Elijah was drowned in a long-continued unanimous volley of plaudits\, vociferous and deafening … never was there a more complete triumph; never a more thorough and speedy recognition of a great work of art.’ \nElijah is based on a Biblical story\, this one from the Book of Kings. \nThe prophet Elijah has predicted a drought: punishment for those who worship the false God Baal. This includes King Ahab’s wife\, Jezebel. \nAfter Elijah is proved right\, he persuades the People to repent – and to kill Baal’s prophets. Their faith is rewarded with storm clouds and rain. But Jezebel\, furious\, forces Elijah into exile. \nAlone and hopeless in the wilderness\, Elijah is consoled first by angels and then – after a mighty storm\, an earthquake and a fire – by God himself. \nFollowing his trials\, Elijah is whisked up to heaven in a fiery chariot. His return is prophesied\, and we end with a profound reflection on the glory of God and a triumphant ‘Amen’. \nAbout\n\nIan Smith Conductor with Bedford Sinfonia \n\n\n\nKatherine Crompton Soprano \nNancy Cole Mezzo-Soprano \nBen Johnson Tenor \nEdward Grint Bass \n\n\nPurchase tickets for the show\nYou can purchase tickets at the Bedford Corn Exchange. \nOr email tickets@bedfordchoralsociety.co.uk \nAdults Balcony/Tier £17 \nFlat £14 \nConcessions £16/£13 \nChildren/Students £5
