"Telling stories is what opera is all about. Not only through words and spectacle but also through some of the best music ever written. From fairytales to dramatic love affairs and from medieval Scotland and Bourgeois Paris to ancient Rome expect a lot of stories, from the sublime to the ridiculous. Oh, and some banging tunes."
Heidi will sing the role of Cherubino in St Paul Opera's Production of the Marriage of Figaro, staged at St Paul's Clapham and sung in Italian (Le nozze di Figaro). Performances are 5 & 6 July, 2019.
Lunchtime Recital: A selection of songs, including Ravel’s Cinq mélodies populaires grecques, English songs by Warlock and Bridge, a smattering of French and Italian opera arias, interspersed with solo piano. Featuring mezzo-soprano Heidi Jost and pianist Lysianne Chen.
Dei Gratia Baroque Ensemble will be performing Handel's Messiah on Easter Saturday at the Danbury Mission Evangelical Church in Chelmsford. More information at http://deigratiabaroque.org.uk/events
Vocal and orchestral music for Lent by Bach, Handel, Hasse, Vivaldi, Zelenka, Charpentier, and Telemann
Pieta, 'pity' in Italian, often brings to mind the characteristic Easter image of the dead Christ held by his mother, so movingly rendered by Michelangelo. In our concert we play instrumental music and pieces for women's voices which evoke the many somber shades of Lent leading up to the glory of Easter.
