This well-known Handel piece closes out CCE's operatic staging of "Samson." The titular hero is dead, but an Israelite woman (Angela Yam, soprano) asks the angelic hosts to celebrate his triumphant last stand, and the chorus joins in. A Baroque classic.
Here's what the Boston Music Intelligencer had to say: "With high c’s, coloratura, and irresistible presence, angelic Angela Yam strode forward like a joyful Queen of the Night to lead the chorus in the satisfyingly boffo closer...and I take pleasure in calling out the high-flying Ryan Noe and the timpanist Michael Zell for the great trumpet-and-drums...Hallelujah! Worth the price of admission alone!"
