Handel’s Israel in Egypt

Hailstorms. Locusts. A parting sea. Handel’s epic oratorio — complete with choir and vocal soloists — tells the biblical story of Moses leading the Israelites from bondage. Jeannette Sorrell conducts her own adaptation that brings the story’s drama to the fore.

Duration: 2 hrs, including intermission

“Thrilling… Sorrell is a masterful musical storyteller. Her adaptation [of Israel in Egypt] gives the work a coherent, compelling dramatic arc, brought off brilliantly by her singers and players.”
