Mendelssohn’s Elijah with Bryn Terfel presented by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra Tickets
About Mendelssohn’s Elijah with Bryn Terfel
Inspired by Handel’s Messiah, Mendelssohn’s Elijah is a towering creation of exquisite music for voices and orchestra.
This is your chance to hear the phenomenal Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel in one of his signature roles, his remarkable voice rising through storms and soaring choral forces as the mighty prophet faces kings, summons lightning and sinks into doubt.
Sydney Symphony Chief Conductor Simone Young masterfully leads a world-class cast. With Sydney Philharmonia Choirs and a full orchestral force, she builds this work from dust to a flaming story. Forceful and layered, Elijah moves you through the duality of threat and miracle. And the cast illuminates the stark contrast.
Soprano Samantha Clarke offers clarity and steel as the Angel, Eleanor Lyons brings lyricism and strength to her soprano solos, Mezzo Noa Beinart adds velvet and stability to the vocal core and tenor Shanul Sharma’s pure tone provides moments of hope and light.
This is Elijah as it should be: bold, moving and profound.
