Mozart’s Great Mass
TIME: 7:30 PM till 9:30 PM
In aid of CaritasMalta PETER MANNING Conductor FRANCESCA LOMBARDI MAZZULLI Soprano Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Great Mass in C minor, K. 427 The Great Mass is the penultimate musical setting of the mass penned by Mozart, and like its only successor – the Requiem – it was left incomplete by the composer, missing the concluding Agnus Dei section in its entirety. But the parts that were put to paper showcase Mozart at his finest and most ambitious. Written after his wife Constanze’s recovery from a serious illness, the work’s admirers include none other than Pope Francis, who said that the Et incarnatus est passage from the Credo section is “matchless: it lifts you to God.” Please note that there are no tickets for this free event. Seating is on a first-come first-served basis. Donations received at the door will be in aid of CaritasMalta.
