A spokesperson says---
“...In Wilson’s interpretation, Messiah—a narrative-free, meditative oratorio originally conceived for concert halls—transforms into a surreal and mesmerizing theatrical spectacle reminiscent of Disney’s Fantasia. The production’s abstract imagery, heightened by Wilson’s signature lighting, will unfold in a series of striking visual tableaux that masterfully meld with the transcendent music, performed by the HGO Orchestra and Chorus alongside a quartet of internationally acclaimed soloists..."
