Plymouth Philharmonic Choir

Our final concert of the season will be an Opera Gala Evening featuring some of the most popular and favourite choruses.

Be prepared to have your heart strings tugged by the palpable feeling of longing in the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves from the opera Nabucco; embrace the power and majesty of the Triumphal Scene from another of Verdi's operas, Aida. Whereas Spanish workers strike their anvils at dawn and sing boisterously of hard work, good wine and women in Verdi's Anvil Chorus, Bizet's Carmen raises the temperature to fever pitch in the provocative Habanera which tells of the untamed nature of love.
