SUMMARY:Bath Choral Society: Dido and Aeneas
DESCRIPTION:Purcell Dido and Aeneas\nHandel Dixit Dominus \nBath Choral Society\nBristol Ensemble\nStephanie Bodsworth and Rebecca Bottone sopranos\nOlivia Ray alto\nEamonn Mulhall tenor\nPhilip Smith bass\nKatrine Reimers conductor \nWas ever a tragic love story more poignantly told? \nDido and Aeneas\, the seventeenth-century gem depicting the abandonment of the Queen of Carthage\, is a serious contender for the greatest English opera of all time. Purcell’s take on the story from Virgil’s Aeneid involves the chorus at every stage of the action. Underpinned with a powerful immediacy and simplicity\, it has long had a broad appeal. The work’s emotional climax\, “When I am laid in earth”\, is as devastating as it is exquisite. \nThis concert performance is paired with another great masterpiece from the Baroque – Handel’s Dixit Dominus. Handel\, ever a master of drama\, brings to this choral Psalm setting a range of colours so broad that it might even take fans of his Messiah by surprise.

SUMMARY:Bath Choral Society: Brahms and Poulenc
DESCRIPTION:Bath Choral Society\nBristol Ensemble\nStephanie Bodsworth soprano\nFelix Kemp baritone\nKatrine Reimers conductor \nBrahms Ein Deutsches Requiem\nPoulenc Gloria \nThe text of Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem is drawn from the Lutheran Bible and the seven movements are a celebration of life and salvation. The fourth movement drawn from the Psalms is often performed in English as the anthem ‘How lovely are thy dwellings fair’. Bath Choral Society will perform the full orchestral version in German. \nBy contrast Poulenc’s Gloria\, written in 1959\, sets the text of the Gloria from the Latin Mass.  The six movements vary in style and mood and feature a dramatic Soprano solo for the ‘Domine Deus’. \nSeating:\nNorth and South side walls unreserved (£7)\nCorporation Stalls unreserved (£5)\nAll other seats reserved \nDoors open from 6.45pm \nTickets available from Bath Box Office online here: bathboxoffice.org.uk/whats-on/brahms-requiem-poulenc-gloria or call 01225 463 362
