A full professional orchestra and soloists join the Masterwork Chorus for a performance of two of Beethoven’s most poignant and dramatic works. Though sacred in subject matter, Christ on the Mount of Olives is a humanistic oratorio whose almost operatic emotional weight laid the groundwork for the secular dramatic oratorios that followed. A pre-concert champagne reception and opportunity to meet the artists is offered for patrons who purchase tickets within the Golden Circle.
Run time, 1 hour, 50 minutes including intermission.
