Attributed to King David, the Book of Psalms contains some of the most anguished and most jubilant expressions of the human spirit and has inspired choral works of great beauty. This concert weaves a rich tapestry of styles and moods, with music by Morley, Purcell, Schütz, Handel, Mendelssohn, Greene, Le Fleming and Parnell.

This magnificent traditional production will be performed by handpicked international soloists alongside the full Chisinau National Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus in an amphitheatre setting intriguingly converted into the attics and backstreets of Bohemian Paris. The poignancy of this tragic opera is set against the stunning backdrops inspired by Chagall, Renoir and the Impressionists and Act 2 will even boast snow!

This beautiful production will feature authentic costume of the period and of course the most romantic music Puccini ever wrote, including the famous aria Your Tiny Hand Is Frozen.

Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
