1730s 1732 Announcement Esther Handel Haymarket Oratorio Performance Performances Villars
EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant announcement print invites the public to two performances of the oratorio "Esther" by the renowned composer George Frideric Handel. The first performance is scheduled for Tuesday, the 2nd of May, 1732, at the prestigious King's Theatre in the Haymarket district of London. The second performance is set for Tuesday, the 20th of April, 1732, at York Buildings in Villars Street. Handel's "Esther" is a dramatic oratorio based on the biblical story of Queen Esther, who saves her people, the Jews, from destruction at the hands of the Persian king Ahasuerus and his wicked advisor Haman. The work was first performed in 1732 and quickly gained popularity due to its powerful music and compelling storytelling. The announcement print features the title of the work, the dates and locations of the performances, and the names of the singers who were to perform in the production. The elegant typography and decorative elements reflect the high status of the event and the prestige of the King's Theatre. This print offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century London theatre and the popularity of Handel's music. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of live performance to captivate and inspire audiences, a tradition that continues to this day.
