Be part of a special concert themed A Chorale Spectacular by the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) as it presents a weave of operatic masterpieces at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP), KLCC.
Music Director Junichi Hirokami will lead the MPO in a programme that consists of 16 works of choral and instrumental from 10 operas. These works were written by 9 composers from 8 countries ranging from North Africa to Japan, Spain to Asia, Sicily to Norway.
Let your imagination roam freely through the wonderful world of operatic music of passion, love, fear, terror, loyalty and betrayal. Experience the power of music by the MPO together with the Kuala Lumpur City Opera Chorus.
The repertoire includes excerpts from The Flying Dutchman, a world of myths and legends, and Lohengrin, a heavy brew of history, philosophy and supernatural, both created by Richard Wagner. The MPO will also present excerpts from Henry Purcell’s short opera Dido And Aeneas of the ill-fated love affair in Tunisia, and the emotional voltage of Cavalleria rusticana composed by Pietro Mascagni.
Then, be enthralled with the wonderfully sumptuous orchestration from excerpts of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, an allure from Japan which endures massive popularity, and Verdi’s Il Trovatore with its plethora of memorable tunes.
Spanish temperament and flavours from Georges Bizet’s Carmen will also permeate the concert hall with its cheerful exuberance of a bull ring festive in Seville. The exciting concert programme will also include Mozart’s The Magic Flute, a mix of fairytale and fantasy from the ancient Egypt, and the highly colourful Borodin’s Prince Igor.
Experience this magnificent choral tapestry as the MPO celebrates the sheer thrilling power of grand opera choruses, only at DFP! More information and tickets here.
