Our small group decided to go the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Chorus free open rehearsal of the Messiah last evening.
I know I've blogged about it before, but the Meyerson Center is really a pretty cool building!
Rachel joined us. Her college choir had done the Messiah a few years back, so it was all I could to to keep her from singing along!
One of our group members is an alto in the chorus, so we had a chance to support her and hear some great music at the same time.
This might not exactly be opera (
Ma, that comment was for you), but it is the closest
I'm likely to get. You know the music was great. The only thing that was maybe just a tad weird for me was the alto solos being sung by a
countertenor. One had to wonder if he was singing falsetto, or, um, had other issues.
The downtown Dallas skyline is pretty cool too!

Oh Thainamu, I would go hear the Messiah anytime.
It would have the capacity to be moving just because the words (in English :-) mean so much to a Christian.
I assume this was the Easterish part of the Messiah? I'm glad you got to go.
