ABILENE OPERA ASSOCIATION PRESENTS

HANDEL’S MESSIAH

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2023 - 7:30 PM

Handel’s Messiah comes to vibrant life on the Paramount stage in this special performance presented by the Abilene Opera Association.

Brilliantly presented, Maestro David Itkin will again be conducting the Abilene Chamber Singers, founded by Dr. Clell Wright and directed by Joshua Wright, and an orchestra comprised of some of the best musicians from West Texas and the Metroplex. An experience unlike most presentations of Messiah, the exquisite ensemble and intimate orchestra will emphasize the unique textures and dynamics as Handel intended in the original work. The Hallelujah Chorus is one of the most famous pieces of Baroque choral music.

A special Afterglow Party follows the performance on the city sidewalks outside the theatre.

Soloists: Jennifer Youngs, Lynnette Chambers, Samuel Cook, and Jeffrey Snider
