Mendelssohn’s masterpiece tells the story of the prophet Elijah. From a stirring overture that ends with the chorus pleading for help, to droughts, false idols, and, finally, Elijah ascending on a chariot of fire to heaven, the 19th-century’s most enduring oratorio features expressive and melodic arias and choruses. Felix Mendelssohn himself described Elijah as “a thorough prophet … energetic and zealous, but also stern, wrathful, and gloomy … and yet borne on angel’s wings.” This musical tour de force features our own magnificent Bach Choir and Orchestra with soloists Mary Wilson, Meg Bragle, Robert Breault, and new-to-the-Bach-Festival Dashon Burton, Grammy Award-winning bass-baritone in the role of Elijah.

Tickets from $25
