5 Male 3 Female

George Frederick Handel is in trouble - his last opera flopped, he is no longer in favor with King George II and preachers are raging that his latest work is blasphemous

In this climate, he struggles to present The Messiah

Handel's travails are linked with those of his leading soprano - forced into retirement because of a scandal, she is slated to make her comeback in his new masterpiece and fears a nasty reception

A malicious, back-stabbing alternate is waiting in the wings to replace her

A devious bishop and Handel's bulky librettist add to the conflict in this true story of the politics and passion that nearly prevented The Messiah from ever being performed
