About

Apollo’s Fire and their founder/director Jeannette Sorrell present a unique dramatic approach to Handel’s Messiah: 2 CDs plus a DVD exploring the work as theatrical entertainment, as Handel intended – an oratorio being a dramatic work, and Handel’s bold declaration that Messiah was “A Sacred Oratorio.”

While the theatrical/spiritual duality caused criticism in Handel’s lifetime, Sorrell believes it is one of the key reasons the work continues to speak so directly to modern audiences.

The DVD includes footage from rehearsals, concerts and recording sessions, interviews with soloists, principal players and Sorrell.
