and NOLA RICHARDSON, soprano

Step into the candlelit intimacy of Hammer Hall for a trip back to the age of Handel and Purcell, to the very peak of English Baroque. Soprano Nola Richardson, praised for having a voice for which Handel might have designed the music, sings arias from the composer’s Aminta e Fillide and Partenope, his first comic opera. Nola brings her sublime voice to arias from Purcell’s The Fairy Queen, an opera written in the spirit of Shakespeare’s comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Mozart by Candelight
Helena Symphony
Helena, MT

Mozart’s charming, playful, and effortlessly elegant Symphony No. 39 is coupled with his vocal virtuosic Exsultate, Jubilate performed by acclaimed Soprano Nola Richardson. The suite from Pulcinella is Stravinsky’s reimagination of 18th century music and makes for an irresistible concert experience – all by candlelight.
