LENTEN CONCERT: Antonín Dvořák / Stabat Mater
Location: Croatian National Theatre Split (Trg Gaje Bulata 1)
Date: April 17, at 8:00 PM
The Choir and Orchestra of the Croatian National Theatre Split, along with soloists under the baton of maestro Ivan Hut, will perform one of the most moving sacred works of classical music – Stabat Mater by Antonín Dvořák.
Stabat Mater, Op. 58 by Antonín Dvořák, is one of the most profound and sublime sacred works in the history of classical music. This monumental piece, born out of profound personal tragedy, is also a testament to the strength of the human spirit, faith, and hope.
Tragic losses in Dvořák’s life shaped the composition. In 1875, shortly after birth, his daughter Josefa passed away, and in 1877, he suffered the loss of two more children. Dvořák found solace in his work, and the audience recognized this at the premiere in 1880 in Prague. His Stabat Mater immediately captivated listeners with its power and emotional depth.
