On the eve of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, and by popular request, comes a repeat performance of the Cantata 'Vita Beatae Mariae Virginis' (The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary) by Alexander Vella Gregory.
The work was commissioned by the Foundation specifically for the inaguaration of the Oratory of the Onorati in January 2023, and takes the magnificent cycle of 7 paintings of the life of the Virgin Mary by Stefano and Alessio Erardi as its starting point. This 17th century cycle narrates the life of the Virgin Mary from the Immaculate Conception all through the Assumption that forms the titular altarpiece of the Oratory.
Written for three sopranos and positivo organ, the cantata takes the shape of seven antiphons taken from the solemn vespers of each of the seven Marian feasts represented in each painting.
Marouska Attard, soprano
Dorothy Baldacchino, soprano
Mariette Borg, soprano
Alexander Vella Gregory, organ
Entrance is FREE but donations are welcome.
Access to the Oratory of the Onorati is from Archbishop Street.
