TCHAIKOVSKY - Capriccio Italien Op.45
COPLAND - Letter From Home
BRITTEN - Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes Op.33a
....plus a selection of James Egglestone’s favourites from the world of opera and musical theatre!
HSO welcomes one of Australia's leading tenors, James Egglestone, to share a collection of stories from opera and musical theatre. The warmth of sunny Rome during Carnival time inspired Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio Italien; a brilliant showcase of lively melodies that will transport you from the winter chill. Copland’s moving Letter from Home, is a poignant expression of patriotism during World War II and flows with resilience and hope amid uncertainty. Britten's Four Sea Interludes, originally crafted as scene transitions in his opera Peter Grimes, captures the powerful sea and its influence on a coastal town; a beautiful yet menacing character. Join us for an evening of rich music and stories from afar!
