Philharmonic is thrilled to welcome the four vocalists from Dayton Opera’s 2018-2019 Artists-In-Residence Program for this performance: soprano Marisa Karchin, mezzo-soprano Courtney Elvira, tenor Jacob Ryan Wright and bass-baritone Michael Colman. This performance of Handel’s Messiah is sponsored by The Harlamert Charitable Foundation.
Although Handel’s Messiah speaks directly to the gospel message of the passion and resurrection celebrated at Easter, this angelic piece has become a holiday tradition at Christmastime as well. In three parts, Messiah relates the prophecy of a savior and his coming, his passion and resurrection, and his role in eternal life after death. With no distinguishable characters, the drama relies entirely on the communication of the story of Christ in words, as well as in the powerful, emotionally stirring, and at times heartbreakingly beautiful music of a composer for whom the oratorio proved a personal salvation.
Tickets for Handel’s Messiah are $31 for adults and $14 for students and children and can be purchased at Ticket Center Stage 937-2283630 or online at daytonperformingarts.org.
