About This Event

The Hallé is set to deliver a monumental performance of Sir William Walton's gripping choral work, Belshazzar's Feast, at Symphony Hall on Saturday 5 June.

Audiences can anticipate a profound musical portrayal of the king’s hubris and subsequent, foretold downfall. The sheer force and grandeur of Walton's composition, combined with the Hallé's renowned artistry, promises an evening of exceptional musical drama. This is a must-see event for lovers of grand choral music and epic storytelling. Tickets for this compelling performance are available, with prices ranging from a very accessible £15 up to £42, offering an opportunity for many to witness this significant work.
