Sir Mark Elder
The Hallé and Sir Mark Elder begin their autumn season with a dramatic concert: the first half features music from Verdi's Macbeth, a graphic portrayal of Shakespeare's play, including Lady Macbeth's descent into madness sung by mezzo-soprano Béatrice Uria-Monzon, and baritone Scott Hendricks in the title role. The concert concludes with Beethoven's Ninth symphony, the Choral, full of drama itself and culminating in the final 'Ode to Joy'.
