Due to its ubiquity, Handel’s Messiah is a piece that we all think we know. And yet, at each return, the work still surprises us through the overwhelming power and beauty of its music and the Christmas story. The Thirteen returns to Handel’s masterpiece this year as we establish a new holiday tradition for the region. The Thirteen performs all three parts of Messiah—including the iconic “Hallelujah Chorus”— telling the greatest story ever told in song. Featuring the region’s only all-professional Messiah, our orchestra of the nation’s finest period instrumentalists, and our “dazzling” choir, whose members—center-stage soloists all—will sing Messiah’s iconic solos and duets in a kaleidoscope “of distinctive approaches to these famous arias” (Washington Classical Review).
The performance will preceded by a pre-concert talk with Charles King, author of Every Valley - The Desperate Lives and Troubled Times That Made Handel’s Messiah. The talk will begin one hour before curtain time, 3pm.
