Mendelssohn ELIJAH

Few oratorios reach the dramatic heights of Felix Mendelssohn’s biggest choral work, with battles between rival deities and the prophet’s ascent to heaven in a chariot of fire.
Peter Butterfield conducts the Victoria Philharmonic Choir, orchestra and a roster of noted Canadian soloists.
Canadian lyric operatic baritone Russell Braun, in the title role, has a distinguished career on leading concert, opera and recital stages around the world. The performance also features soprano Melody Courage, mezzo soprano Emma Parkinson and tenor Jean-Philippe Lazure, with Christ Church Cathedral chorister Maya Badel in the role of the Youth.
