It’s often said that H+H’s way with music wipes the dust off the masterpieces, restoring their original vibrancy and virtuosity. Nowhere is that more evident than in Handel’s Messiah. It doesn’t matter that we gave the U.S. premiere or that this will be our 169th consecutive year performing it. What matters is that you’ll experience all the passion, drama, tragedy, and joy Handel wrote into this epic story. Without a doubt, this is Boston’s must-see Messiah.
