Too Hot to Handel January 17, 2010

This fresh production, produced by the Auditorium, shapes the beloved masterpiece of George Frideric Handel's 'Messiah' into an active listening and participatory experience. This soulful jazz-gospel interpretation features two-thirds of the dynamic tenor trio Cooke, Dixon & Young: Rodrick Dixon and Victor Trent Cooke; plus soprano Alfreda Burke; Old St. Patrick's Choir; and a host of Chicago's most talented artists with a full orchestra, under the baton of Suzanne Mallare Acton.
