Handel’s Jephtha

250 years since Handel’s death, we return to the hall where so many of his works have been heard, not least as the cornerstone of the Birmingham Triennial Festivals. Jephtha, his last oratorio, is one of his very finest works in English, and tells the story of the great military captain who finds himself in conflict with God’s law as a result of a rash promise. Featuring a host of glorious arias and dramatic choruses, and with a leading cast conducted by Handel specialist Nicholas McGegan, this is a must for Handel fans.

There will be one interval after Act One.

6.15pm Pre-concert talk – Handel’s Jephtha
Conductor Nicholas McGegan – in conversation with CBSO Events Officer Richard Bratby.
