Nothing is more impressive than the synergy of live music, choir, and dance coming together for the majestic Handel’s Messiah. Cleveland Ballet presents Messiah like never before in this stunning ballet adaptation, featuring Handel’s iconic score performed live by the Cleveland Chamber Choir and BlueWater Chamber Orchestra.

 

Widely regarded as one of the most moving works in classical music, Messiah explores themes of hope, faith, and redemption through the soaring score and ballet movements following the biblical narrative from the prophecy of Christ's birth to his crucifixion and triumphant resurrection.
