Political parallels to ongoing conflict in Israel and Palestine
A tale drawn from the ancient Hebrew account of the Jewish people, CUOS is excited to present Handel's Saul - a work of eerie prescience and political insight. When the embittered King Saul takes on the heroic David - the famous slayer of Goliath and the revered deliverer of the Jewish people - he drives more than his own family apart. And, when resentment turns to envy, the consequences turn fatal.
Join CUOS for one of Handel's most accomplished musical works - and a story which continues to challenge and surprise - in the gorgeous setting of the Emmanuel College Chapel.
