UNUSUAL EVENT. The powerful music of Antonio Caldara, (c.1670 – 1736) a relatively unknown but phenomenal composer with a prolific output. Caldara produced over 3,000 works including 40 oratorios. Maddalena ai piedi di Cristo is a dramatic telling of the struggle between Good and Evil for the soul of Mary Magdalena. In this amazing work one fabulous aria follows another; all enriched by highly original writing for string orchestra. A rare treat is in store. Tickets £10-25.
