Massenet’s “Virgin Mary,” Madeira

The Series finale crowns the month of May, traditionally dedicated to the Virgin Mary, with Jules Massenet’s monumental oratorio La Vierge (The Virgin Mary). This epic meditation on the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary alternates intimate and majestic writing in the style of French grand opera, tracing Mary’s journey from the Annunciation to her assumption, blending lyrical beauty with ardent reverence. The performance features the Capella, a string orchestra with harp, and a combined children’s chorus of trebles from the St. Gertrude Schola Cantorum and the Schola Cantorum of the Cincinnati Oratory.
