The Choice of Hercules - Dixit Dominus

Meet us at the glorious intersection of sacred music and dance in this inspiring evening of baroque masterworks. Presented in collaboration with Compagnie de la Citadelle and the Theatre of Early Music, witness the critically acclaimed production choreography that will take your breath away as the musicians of the Schola Cantorum and the Theatre of Early Music perform Handel’s Dixit Dominus. The Historical Performance Area makes history once again in offering the first ever Canadian performance of Handel's stunning one-act dramatic cantata The Choice of Hercules. Daniel Taylor follows up his resplendent reconstructions of Handel's Oratorios and unforgettable performances, this time bringing together Handel's genius paired with captivating choreography imagined by Laurence Lemieux in a tribute to the strength and resilience of women.

The Historical Performance concerts are made possible in part by the generous support of the Milton Harris Early Music Endowment Fund.
