Capella Cracoviensis: Susanna
Thursday, April 25, 2024, 6:00 PM
Susanna – one of Handel’s late works – continues the series of presentations of English oratorios set this spring by Capella Cracoviensis. The anonymous libretto based on a tale from the biblical book of Daniel, traces the condemnation and vindication of Susannah, a victim of hearsay and false judgment in ancient Babylon.
To tell her story, Handel turned to a more operatic style, with traits of both Italian opera as well as the lighter English ballad opera, popular at the time.

Kraków Philharmonic Hall
ul. Zwierzyniecka 1
Besides their weekly symphony concerts, the Kraków Philharmonic also organises master recitals and educational concerts for children and young people.
The Karol Szymanowski Philharmonic Hall in Kraków was the first philharmonic to open in Poland after the Second World War. Besides the weekly symphony concerts, it organises master recitals and educational concerts for children and young people, while the summer meetings with music assume the form of chamber concerts of slightly lighter character. A hallmark of the Kraków Philharmonic repertoire is its programme of oratorios, which the Philharmonic can present thanks to its extensive and varied lineup: the orchestra, mixed choir, and boys choir. The Kraków Philharmonic has become recognised for its promotion of the works of Karol Szymanowski in Poland and abroad.
The Philharmonic Hall frequently hosts concerts by special guests, for example, at major festivals.
