Presented by Opera Queensland in association with The University of Queensland
Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle (Little solemn mass), written in 1863, is a glorious celebration of sacred music written towards the end of Rossini’s life. Neither little nor solemn, this is a work of profound beauty and exultant joy.
Written for two pianos and a harmonium, with four soloists and a choir, our collaboration with The University of Queensland sees us joined by two of Australia’s great pianists – Anna Grinberg and Liam Viney.
Perfect for seasoned concertgoers and newcomers, Rossini combines orchestral and choral textures, to create a work distinguished by its unashamed romanticism.
Sung in Latin
