Stolen from Back Bay Chorale's website:
Originally written in 1921 for the theater, Honegger captures in music the drama of king David’s tumultuous life — slaying the giant, betrayed by his king, triumphant in battle, lusting for another’s wife, suffering his son’s death, offending his God, yet ultimately creating the legacy of the kingdom of Israel.
Performed in its original French, Le Roi David is enriched with imaginative staging and narration by one of North America’s leading French operatic baritones.
Please come if you can! It will be a truly unique experience with 1920's jazz-inspired music -- including a soprano saxophone for one piece.
Then you're already in Back Bay for your Friday night debauchery.
