description Baltazar Overview
Baltazar is a Latin oratorio by Italian composer Giacomo Carissimi based on the biblical account of Belshazzar’s feast in the Book of Daniel. The drama centers on the king’s sacrilegious banquet, the mysterious writing that appears during the feast, and the interpretation of the warning that follows. Carissimi uses solo declamation, dialogue, and chorus to give the episode a concentrated theatrical shape. The work is suited to listeners studying the seventeenth-century Roman oratorio.
