Handel’s MESSIAH (Chicago)
December 15 – December 16, 2024
Sound the trumpet! Jeannette Sorrell and the acclaimed Apollo’s Singers are nationally renowned for their dramatic interpretation of Messiah. The soloists become musical storytellers, bringing spirituality and drama to Handel’s richly layered masterpiece.
Duration: 2 hours and 10 minutes, including intermission
“The performance conducted by Sorrell was a revelation. ‘Messiah’ has seldom seemed so dramatic, so alive with detail.” – BACHTRACK.COM (London)
