The orchestra provides a classical and a fresher approach to Handel’s Messiah and was initially under the supervision of Lesley Stifelman. Though the main aim of this orchestra was to play along the same lines, text, harmonies and structure as that of Handel’s Messiah, Alsop incorporated a twist to the sound by incorporating gospel piano, a complete rhythm section, Hammond 3 jazz organ and electric guitars. This way the classic symphony became an active experience from which audiences can learn, stand up and even clap to the music. If you are in the mood to experience a unique opera event, unlike ever you have seen before then you should definitely consider attending the upcoming Too Hot to Handel show, which you can become a part of if you purchase the tickets without any further delay.
