OBSERVER: The Great Mass
Victoria Chorale presents the Great Mass in C Minor by audience-favourite Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at 5pm on Saturday, May 16, at St Paul’s Cathedral, corner Flin-ders and Swanston Sts, Melbourne.
Described as ‘Great’ because of its sheer size, the Mass represents Mozart at his most daring and innovative and is a significant departure from his earlier church music.
He composed the C Minor Mass to be a work of breathtaking scope featuring many virtuoso operatic arias for soprano and mezzo soprano and majestic choruses with division of the choir into two separate four-part choirs.
Conducted by Musical Director, Mario Dobernig, Victoria Chorale will be joined by the Art of Sound Orchestra and soloists, Molly Ryan, Soprano, Sally-Anne Russell, Mezzo Soprano, Jiacheng Ding, Tenor and Michael Lampard, Baritone. Tickets at: trybooking.com/DJDIF
