Event Details
Handel's most profound and haunting creation. A powerful drama of courage, faith, and moral resolve, it unfolds through radiant arias and stirring choruses of extraordinary emotional force. Where Handel's Messiah is triumphant and expansive, Theodora is intimate and searching, telling the story of two early Christian martyrs with a directness that feels startlingly modern.
Performed by Bach Charlotte's professional ensemble on original instruments, led by harpsichordist Ian Watson.
Part of the Charlotte Bach Festival, May 27–June 7. Full schedule at bacharlotte.com/festival
