A Performance by Didsbury Tenor Alexander Wall
Alexander Wall, an opera singer from Didsbury, will be making his Manchester debut of a thrilling song cycle on Saturday 4th February at Emmanuel Church.
Winterreise by Franz Schubert is an earth-shatteringly beautiful work of enormous scope only attempted by the bravest of singers. The 24 songs tell the story of one man’s journey through ice and snow as he recalls his past love - his sweetheart whom has rejected him.
The cycle starts with him silently leaving her house, and as he shuts the gate behind him his loss becomes all too apparent: the journey has begun! He quits the town not knowing where his legs will carry him, but certain that his soul is in pieces. Where will this journey take him?
Book your tickets now to find out and to join Alexander on his voyage of discovery in this most moving of pieces.
Tickets cost £10 and are available via http://alexanderwall.co.uk or at the door on the night of the concert.
