Event Summary

Burlington Choral Society, Richard Riley, Artistic Director

presents

Handel's Saul

Handel’s Saul, an epic oratorio for five vocal soloists, orchestra, and chorus, dramatizes the life of King Saul, who lived c. 1000 BCE. Saul’s jealousy of David (of David and Goliath) forces Saul’s three children to choose between the two, which leads to a tragic end.

The Burlington Choral Society’s performance will feature vocal soloists at the height of their careers, including countertenor Timothy Parsons (as David) and soprano Madeline Healey, co-directors of the Richmond, Vermont-based early music vocal ensemble Ampersand.

“With Saul, Handel produced one of the supreme masterpieces of dramatic art,” writes Winton Dean, foremost authority on Handel’s operas and oratorios.

Burlington Choral Society’s Artistic Director Richard Riley says “I believe that the dramatic impact of this powerful work, one eerily present in our own country today, will stay in the memories of all who are there.”

General admission tickets are $30 for adults; ages 18 and under are free.
