Eric Owens has earned tremendous critical acclaim for his recent opera roles with the L.A. Opera, the Royal Opera, Paris Opera, San Francisco Opera, and other companies. This gripping oratorio, influenced by the epic oratorios of Handel and the majestic choral counterpoint of Bach, is perfect for Owens’ expansive, powerful voice and dramatic presentation. Based on the life of the Old Testament prophet, Elijah is filled with inspired orchestration, glorious arias and choruses, and dramatic storytelling. This vivid characterization of the prophet has made it a work for the ages.
