Die erste Walpurgisnacht (The First Walpurgis Night) is a poem by Goethe, relating the attempts of Druids in the Harz mountains to practice pagan rituals in the face of new and dominating Christian forces. Although not an overly devotional piece of religious music, Rossini’s Stabat Mater certainly has some of the best virtuoso vocal lines, stunning tunes and beautiful choruses ever written.

Heidelberg Choral Society and orchestra, conducted by Peter Bandy, will be joined by eminent soloists: Margaret Orr, Dimity Shepherd, Michael Lapina and Paul Hughes.
