A bale of hay comes to life and plays with a little girl. A headless mannequin holds a lobster on a leash. A confused astronaut wanders amongst a group of choristers while a video of a collapsing glacier plays in the background. These are but a few of the arresting images from Robert Wilson’s mesmerizing vision of the beloved Messiah, composed by Handel and arranged by Mozart.

Outrageous disguises, intercepted love letters, and comic misunderstandings—Rossini’s uproarious masterpiece, The Barber of Seville, has them all. This fan favorite receives a delightful staging from director Joan Font, returning to Houston following the triumph of his acclaimed Cinderella.
