Israel in Egypt
One of England’s favourite choral treasures alongside Messiah, Israel in Egypt showcases Handel’s genius for story-telling and drama. The powerful, chorus-laden oratorio vividly portrays the biblical stories in the Books of Exodus and Psalms, from the plagues of flies, frogs and hailstones to Moses’ parting of the Red Sea and revenge against the oppressive Egyptians.
Handel expert and Artistic Director of Carmel Bach Festival Paul Goodwin will lead Hong Kong Sinfonietta, SingFest Choral Academy and Festival Chorus, and soloists from Hong Kong and UK’s Monteverdi Choir and The Sixteen in this thrilling musical journey.
