Candlelight: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons
In honour of four Italian sonnets that capture the seasons, Antonio Lucio Vivaldi composed his four-part masterpiece, The Four Seasons or Le Quattro Stagioni. Each concerto expresses the text and its images through breathtaking music. His moving pieces were even re-scored for a performance at the UN climate conference COP26 which featured 15 orchestras; an example of just how influential the group of concerts remains today.
And this November, music lovers can take their seats at the Star Theatre to hear Juliet Strings, a skilled string quartet, perform “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn”, and “Winter”. Hear the birds sing, thunder, hunting guns, cold winds, and ice cracking. After 60 minutes in Vivaldi’s world, you won’t want to leave it. Invite your friends and family along to make the evening out even more memorable.
