SUMMARY:Rossini’s Stabat Mater
DESCRIPTION:Wit. Grandeur. An opera in disguise.\nWho’s on stage\nNil Venditti is a real firecracker. So much so\, Royal Northern Sinfonia snapped her up as Principal Guest Conductor after two visits.  Tonight she’s joined on stage by four super soloists\, Royal Northern Sinfonia and Chorus of Royal Northern Sinfonia. \nWhat they’re playing\nIt’s high energy from the start with Rossini’s Overture to The Barber of Seville\, Mozart’s majestic Symphony No. 29 and then Rossini’s Stabat Mater. \nWhat you’ll hear\nGioachino Rossini Overture to The Barber of Seville (8’)\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart Symphony No. 29 (28’)\nGioachino Rossini Stabat Mater (61’) \nWho’s playing\nNil Venditti conductor\nSalome Jicia soprano\nMarianna Pizzolato mezzo-soprano\nKonu Kim tenor\nDevid Cecconi baritone\nTim Burke chorus director\nChorus of Royal Northern Sinfonia\nRoyal Northern Sinfonia \nWhat’s happening in the music?\nThink of Rossini and you think of comic operas\, impossibly fast-moving songs that are real tongue twisters\, and his trademark chirpy musical demeanour\, music that’s never without a smile. So it’s hard to imagine him writing music for a serious religious text\, but write it he did – managing to combine music that’s heartfelt and serious with his innate musical drama and soaring\, joyous melodies. Having said he’d never write another opera\, perhaps he did… he just called it something different. In this concert it’s accompanied by one of his madcap overtures plus a Mozart Symphony that squeezes drama\, elegance\, majesty and exhilaration into 25 minutes. \n \nThat’s all folks…\nIt’s amazing what you’ll find hidden away in Saturday morning cartoons. Take a trip down memory lane with this Loony Tunes cartoon classic – Bugs Bunny’s own take on Rossini’s overture\, The Rabbit of Seville.
