Jamie Beddard performs the central non-speaking role of The Beloved.<\/p>\n<p>Recorded in April 2017, the production received critical acclaim. Positioned between opera and theatre, this powerfully accessible interpretation of Handel\u2019s seminal work explores the drama and struggle of faith, showing a bereaved community whose grief at the loss of their leader is transformed into hope through a narrative of resurrection. Inspired by early performances of the work, which were staged in theatres and concert halls rather than churches, including its first performance at Bristol Old Vic in 1782, it is a rare treat for connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It is streaming for free until 9.30 pm on Sunday evening <a href=\"https:\/\/bristololdvic.org.uk\/whats-on\/messiah\">here<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0If you are able, do watch it &#8211; it comes highly recommended!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This dramatised production of Messiah is staged by Bristol Old Vic\u2019s Tony Award-winning Artistic Director Tom Morris with design by Anna Orton.
