A new annual tradition in Toronto, Electric Messiah is a reimagining of Handel’s masterpiece for today’s Toronto, complete with four soloists, band, turntables, and hypnotic dance, performing a feast of musical styles. The familiar becomes fresh for curious listeners in this immersive theatrical experience in the Drake Underground.
It is always wonderful to revisit work after you’ve had some time away from it. In my third year working on Electric Messiah, our team was able to really evolve the project and move the work forward. This year’s production felt like a complete re-imagination of the piece and I was very proud of the results.
