Mendelssohn Elijah

As an undoubted masterpiece of the nineteenth century oratorio tradition, Elijah presents in truly dramatic fashion, the trials and tribulations of the biblical prophet. In the title role will be the internationally renowned baritone, Gareth Brynmor John and this great work, which has enjoyed enduring popularity since its first performance in Birmingham in 1846, is also a tour-de-force for the choir and orchestra.
