Le Messie

Presented by Théâtre des Champs-Elysées (LR-228514). Le Messie Georg Friedrich Haendel Le Messie is without doubt the most famous oratorio in the entire history of sacred music. Cast Nina Spinosi | soprano Rémy Brès-Feuillet | countertenor Gaël Lefèvre | tenor Florian Boesch | bass-baritone Ensemble Matheus Chœur de l’Académie Haendel Hendrix Jean-Christophe Spinosi | conductor In a few words A grandiose masterpiece, Le Messie is undoubtedly the most frequently performed oratorio in all sacred music history. The libretto contrasts sharply with the composer's other works in this genre. Instead of unfolding a majestic dramatic narrative, the text of Le Messie focuses primarily on the themes of prophecy and meditation. Beyond its world-famous "Hallelujah", the score illustrates, throughout its three parts, all the splendor of Handel's orchestral and choral writing. Production Théâtre des Champs-Élysées
