The City of Dunedin Choir will present Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle at Knox Church on Saturday, September 29 at 7.30pm. It’s typical of the wit of this comic genius that this great mass should be neither “Little” nor “Solemn” as the name implies. Gioachino Antonio Rossini was best known for his operas, and particularly his comic operas, yet there was always a deeper vein of creativity even in his best-known operas such as William Tell, The Thieving Magpie, and The Barber of Seville. Rossini was one of the brightest flames of creative genius in European music and he rose from rags to riches on the strength of his 39 operas. He toured his works throughout Europe. In London in 1824, eight of Rossini’s operas were performed in one season. The Petite Messe Solennelle (1863) is one of his rare later works. Soloists for the September 29 concert are Emma Fraser (soprano), Amanda Cole (alto), Julien Van Mellaerts (bass) and Matthew Wilson (tenor). The conductor is David Burchell. Tickets for the Rossini Petite Messe Solennelle are available from Beggs Musicworks (Cnr Moray Place Cnr Moray Place and Lower Stuart St; or from Knox Church Office; or phone Clare (03) 476-2426. (Cheque or cash only.)
