Superstar soprano Samantha Clarke’s ravishing voice and incredible musicality have taken her from the beaches of Perth to the BBC proms and the international opera stage.
Now, Samantha returns to the MSO with Erin Helyard for a sublime evening of arias, interspersed with instrumental selections by two of the Baroque era’s most prolific composers. From the heartbreaking anguish of Lascia ch’io pianga to the thrilling vocal fireworks of Leggi almeno, this program of dramatic arias from Vivaldi and Handel’s great operas and oratorios is a must-see event.
Featuring MSO soloists Elina Faskhi, Tair Khisambeev and Matthew Tomkins, Vivaldi’s Concerto in D and Handel’s Concerto Grosso in B-flat highlight the stirring emotional capacity of baroque music from these two composers, lauded for their theatrical prowess.
