First Hill (Seattle)
$20 - $45
Though Handel's Messiah is generally used to celebrate Christmas, librettist Charles Jennens actually conceived of the piece as an Easter opera, as the last two-thirds of the composition cover the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This original intent will be honored here with a performance by the Byrd Ensemble with the Seattle Baroque Orchestra under the direction of Alexander Weimann.
