Handel’s Messiah

Artists: Myriam Leblanc, soprano; Cecilia Duarte, alto; Jacob Perry, tenor; Sumner Thompson, bass; the Vancouver Chamber Choir and the Pacific Baroque Orchestra directed by Alexander Weimann

Early Music Vancouver and Vancouver Chamber Choir’s joint mounting of Handel’s indomitable Messiah returns to The Orpheum with a stellar lineup of soloists. At times reflective, joyful, solemn, and mysterious, this monumental work speaks to audiences across all worlds, bringing a fundamental message of hope. Alexander Weimann’s direction of this masterpiece is spell-binding.
