David and Jonathan (2008)


Marc-Antoine Charpentier's David and Jonathan (David et Jonathas) was first produced in Paris in 1688 then forgotten for 300 years. It has never been produced in Australia before. Based on the biblical story of David, Jonathan and Saul the work contains wonderful arias, choruses and orchestral music that will delight lovers of baroque and excite those coming to this kind of music for the first time.

Soloists include Swedish tenor Anders Dahlin, soprano Sara Macliver, basses Dean Robinson, Richard Anderson and David Parkin, baritone Simon Lobelson and tenor Paul McMahon. Antony Walker will conduct Orchestra of the Antipodes (playing authentic instruments of the period) and the chorus will be Cantillation. It will be a fully staged and costumed production directed by American director Chas Rader-Shieber and designed by young Australian designers Brad Clark and Alex Sommer (http://alexandbrad.com/).
