Hallelujah Broadway is based on the simple premise that powerful songs can bring an audience to their feet, gladden their hearts and give them something to really feel good about.
This is a feast of inspired vocal performances set in the baroque magnificence of the Church of St. Simon and St. Jude, home to the Prague Symphony. Crucially, Hallelujah Broadway will have star central performances from three featured soloists -the amazing tenor Rodrick Dixon, the powerful soprano from the Chicago Symphony Alfreda Burke, and the marvellous Irish Tenor Anthony Kearns. The show also features as a special guest one of Broadway’s leading ladies - Linda Eder.
Hallelujah Broadway was recorded in Prague, Monday 8th February 2010.
