Myth, Music and Heritage

A myth in human culture is a powerful narrative that, even if it is not true, is of extraordinary importance or deep meaning for the community that holds it. Whether it takes place in an ancient and distant time or in a parallel reality, a myth introduces us to gods, heroes, and superhuman figures, and offers overt and covert messages about values, identity, and worldview. It is precisely the tension between truth and fiction that gives myth its power – as a story that may not have happened, but continues to influence, inspire, and shape human consciousness across generations.<br><br>

The opening concert of the Lyric Opera Festival will take place among the exhibits and ancient myths in the galleries of the Museum of the Bible Lands in Jerusalem. The concert will feature works by Handel, Vivaldi, Telemann and Monteverdi based on rich and familiar Greek mythology, from Telemann`s Orfeo to Handel`s Semele, performed by opera soloists from Israel and abroad, accompanied by the Velum Orchestra conducted by Dr. Sophia Mazar.
