This evening my spouse and I attended Handel's Messiah. It was performed by the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra and chorus, plus four soloists and it was magnificent. I could go on and on. It was outstanding, excellent, exceptional, moving, a joy to hear and see. But what surprised me was that it was fun. I loved hearing the old familiar story of the birth, life, death and resurrection, and the promise of life eternal, sung so beautifully. This was a first for both of us. We had heard the Hallelujah Chorus, of course, multiple times, but never the entire Messiah. As I said, this was the first time for each of us, but it won't be the last.
