HANDEL: Messiah, HWV 56
Christmas in – August? You may think so when you see this performance of Handel's iconic masterpiece Messiah, a fixture of the winter holiday season. But when isn't it time to revel in the piece that caused the composer to say "I did think I saw the heavens open, and saw the very face of God" when he completed it? Under the baton of Jane Glover – who has conducted over 120 performances of Messiah around the world – and with the Music of the Baroque Chorus, soloists from the Aspen Opera Theatre/VocalARTS program, all in the intimate and stunning acoustics of Harris Concert Hall, this is sure to be a Messiah to remember!
The run time for Handel's Messiah is 2 hours and 45 minutes, including intermission.
