Leonard Bernstein crafted MASS as the inaugural performance of the Kennedy Center on September 8, 1971. It reflects the authentic struggle and beauty of the human soul, screaming and singing for its liberation. This production is a response to the defunding of the National Endowment of the Arts, and the overhaul of the Kennedy Center. We have come together to stand in affirmation of the spirit that gave life to the Kennedy Center. As allies in the arts, we are excited to announce this collaborative staging, honoring the anniversary of its premier and affirming our committment to making the music that inspires us.
Throughout Theodora, Handel weaves the threads of the enlightenment that would just a generation later give birth to the spirit of America: freedom of religion, assembly, speech, from persecution and the free exercise of joy and presence. IN Series mounts its largest production ever with full baroque orchestra and choir as a testament to courage of holding fast to an ideal, at all costs. From its audacious beginning through the most powerful music Handel ever wrote, this rarely staged masterwork promises to move and even transfigure audiences in an experience like none other this season.
