Gloriæ Dei Cantores and Elements Theatre Company presented Ralph Vaughan Williams’s opera, The Pilgrim’s Progress, fully-staged with orchestra and guest soloists at the Church of the Transfiguration, Orleans, MA. For the first time in twelve years, the production returned to a New England stage, drawing an international audience into a timeless story portraying the universal journey of humanity’s search for spiritual redemption.

The Pilgrim’s Progress was the featured event of an international symposium on Arts & Ecumenism commemorating the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation. Sponsored in part by the Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust of London, it was the first fully-staged performance of the opera worldwide since performed in London in 2012.
