September 11-27, 2009
By Tim Slover
George Frederick Handel is in trouble; his last opera flopped, he is no longer in favor with King George II and preachers
are raging that his latest work is blasphemous. In this climate, he struggles to present “The Messiah.” Handel’s
travails are linked with those of his leading soprano. Forced into retirement because of a scandal, she is slated to make her
comeback in his new masterpiece and fears a nasty reception. A malicious, back stabbing alternate is wailting in the wings to
replace her. A devious bishop and Handel’s bulky librettist add to the conflict in this true story of the politics and passion
that nearly prevented “The Messiah” from ever being performed.
