Felix Mendelssohn: Elijah at Paris Philharmonic, Paris
A nostalgic classical night.
Mendelssohn's Elias is a masterpiece of romantic oratorio, blending religious solemnity with lyrical drama. Created after the success of Paulus, it focuses on the prophet Elijah and the transition from paganism to monotheism. The score features prominent choral sections supported by a full orchestra, meditative metaphysical arias, and intense dramatic scenes that highlight Mendelssohn's unfulfilled potential as an opera composer. This performance features the Orchestre de Paris under the direction of Daniel Harding, joined by a prestigious cast of soloists including Liv Redpath and Christian Gerhaher.
