George Frideric Handel's Messiah was an instant classic soon after its 1742 premiere and has been a holiday tradition around the world ever since. Through a dramatic series of arias, recitatives, and choruses, Handel offers a musical meditation on Christ's birth, life, and resurrection--and his message of redemption. Jane Glover leads the SF Symphony and Chorus in this perennial favorite.
