No narrative, and therefore no plot. No characters either. The libretto consists of cutting and pasting from the Old Testament and some theological hocus-pocus. With glorious music, Handel pulls out all the stops in his ‘Messiah’. Aria faultlessly follows choir in a sound spectacle that is rich with delicious melodies. Moods change, and the listener is astonished by the smartly constructed fugues. And moved by the solemn sombreness of the passion… All this fits conductor Václav Luks like a glove. Rest assured that the musicians and singers of Collegium Vocale 1704 will perform the score with razor-sharp precision and total dedication. During this concert, you will experience this iconic work as if you were at the premiere. And that’s a promise.
