THE PLAY
Handel’s London. 1741.
George Frederick Handel is in trouble: his last opera flopped. He is no longer in favour with King George II and neither church nor state want much to do with him. And his reputation as a cantankerous old bear isn’t doing him any favours. Throw in a sex scandal for his leading soprano and the scene is set for the true story of the politics and the passion that nearly prevented Messiah from ever being performed.
