Royal Choral Society: Handel's Israel in Egypt

Handel's underrated choral masterpiece brings to life the plagues, miracles and jubilation of the Exodus story. Intensely dramatic, Israel in Egypt's exuberant choruses showcase Handel’s genius for story-telling – from the plagues of flies, frogs and hailstones to Moses’s parting of the Red Sea. Performed in the beautiful surroundings of Southwark Cathedral, accompanied by the London Handel Orchestra and a stellar line up of soloists all conducted by Richard Cooke, the Royal Choral Society will raise the roof with this extraordinary chorus-laden work.
