University Chamber Music: Messiah
(Music/Theatre/Dance)
American Opera Theater has garnered national acclaim for its innovative and mesmerizing productions and their Messiah is America's first staged production of Handel's dramatic oratorio. Performed in Blacksburg's Lyric Theatre, this remarkably moving and unforgettable presentation features AOT's period instrument ensemble, Ignoti Dei Orchestra, five AOT soloists, Virginia Tech Chamber Singers, and Handel's original 1742 orchestration. The score is electrifying, the libretto a masterpiece of rhetoric construction, and together they're considered by many to be divine.
