An evening that combines the subtlety of chamber music and the grandeur of choral sound. The power of Schumann's oratorio, the virtuosity of young soloists, and the beauty of live performance make this event a true revelation for all classical music lovers. The XI International Festival of Vocal Music 'Opera Apriori' invites audiences to one of the most impressive concerts of the season - the performance of Robert Schumann's oratorio 'Paradise and the Peri'. This grand composition, in which the composer combines symphonic and choral sound with the delicate work of solo vocalists, will be performed in an original interpretation that highlights the drama and depth of the musical narrative. The main idea of the work is the soul's journey to the light, redemption, and love that transcends boundaries. These philosophical themes come to life on stage thanks to the outstanding lineup of performers: the Moscow Chamber Orchestra Musica Viva under the direction of Jeremy Walker, the State Academic Russian Choir named after A. V. Sveshnikov, and a whole host of young soloists - Albina Latipova, Gilyana Dordzhieva, Karina Demurova, Shota Chibirov, and Mageram Guseynov. Where to go in Moscow today will be told by our website.
