Handel's Messiah

When Roxanne's parents moved to Virginia several months ago, they gave us their season tickets to the Dallas Opera and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Last night, the DSO performed Handel's Messiah. I don't believe I've ever seen it in it's entirety before.

The most remarkable thing to me is that it is entirely based on Scripture, running from the birth of Christ to the eternal reign. In the comments in the program, the writer noted that most people associate Messiah with the Christmas season, but it is in fact far more appropriate to Easter.
