Glyndebourne Tour

A powerful tale of love and loathing.

An evening of massive choruses as well as magnificent solo singing. Saul, the first King of Israel, crumbles before your eyes as he watches with increasing despair, the young hero David winning everyone’s heart – including that of his own son.

The first of Handel’s great English oratorios, combining operatic-style solo arias with mighty choruses, Saul has been compared to Shakespeare’s King Lear in its dramatic impact.
