Add to my Calendar 07-03-2020 19:30 07-03-2020 21:30 36 Handel - Israel in Egypt If Messiah is Handel’s best-known oratorio, Israel in Egypt is certainly his most dramatic. In telling the story of Israel’s sojourn in Egypt, the Egyptian plagues and the Exodus, Handel uses his most colourful and descriptive musical language to illustrate those extraordinary events, with startling effect. Our performance will be at baroque pitch, complete with baroque trumpets and trombones, thus revealing the full palette of Handel's unequalled gift for word painting.
