After the Komische Oper Berlin gave the thrilling start to a series of major productions at Tempelhof Airport with The Raft of the Medusa , an absolute classic of music history will follow in 2024: Georg Friedrich Handel's MESSIAH . It is hard to believe that the creation of this global success took place at a time that was by no means promising for the composer: rival opera companies, bankruptcies, a London audience that grew tired of Italian opera and then a stroke! Handel's response to this life crisis seems all the more impressive.
