Victoria Philharmonic Choir - The Dream of Gerontius

Event Description

Epic in musical and spiritual scope, Edward Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius hasn't been performed in Victoria since the 1990's.
Composed in 1900, it follows the journey of a pious man's Soul from death to his final judgement, encountering Angelic and Demonic characters along the way.
The performance features 3 soloists who've individually sung these roles on various world stages; a choir of more than 90 singers, and an orchestra of 30+ players, many of them members of the Victoria Symphony.
Doors open at 7, general admission.
