It has been many many years since I've seen Messiah in person. I love the Symphony!!! I remembered the choral parts being beautiful and written very close to scripture. It was such a beautiful experience because scripture was printed in the program & as your reading the gorgeous music is amplifying the beauty of the season. I did not remember the soloists who sang straight up Opera style. They were not my favorite. Especially when James decided to speak in opera vibrato all night....
AND ~ I almost forgot!! The conductor was the same conductor at Will & Kate's wedding!! I felt so royal! All I was lacking was a nice fur :) (and perhaps a castle or two).
As you may or may not be able to tell James was less than thrilled at my surprise photo shoot while driving :) I asked a lady to take our picture during intermission on the big staircase. She promptly ran to the bottom of the staircase & yelled up "I'll take your picture from down here so you look really tall!"... Because that's a problem I often have... not looking tall enough. I wish more people knew about flattering photo angles!
Here is a link to the Hallelujah Chorus !
