Two giants of Baroque music meet during the Advent season in a performance by the OPERA Orchestra and Chorus. Bach’s well-known Magnificat is performed in its original version, in E-flat major, supplemented with movements specifically tailored to the festive season by the composer himself. Händel’s Messiah (as arranged by Mozart) is likewise an indispensable part of the Christmas; in the second half of the concert, the most popular excerpts from the oratorio are presented with visual projections, offering the audience an interdisciplinary and spiritual experience.
