This is regarded as the archetype of the oratorio par excellence, as its creator’s most famous work – the «Messiah» by George Frideric Handel. The «Messiah» owes its fame less to the (undeniably high) quality of the composition than to its particular history of reception. This history was enriched by a veritable treasure when the Handel House Foundation in Halle was able to acquire a previously unknown score of the Italian-language version, which was first performed in Florence in 1768 and was long thought to have been lost. At the Innsbruck Festival, the wonderful work «Il Messia» will be performed under the direction of Alessandro De Marchi and with an outstanding soloist cast. Come along to this very special event!
