SUMMARY:Cleveland Ballet Performs Handel's "Messiah" with Live Chamber Orch
 estra and Choir
DESCRIPTION:\nFri 3/20 &amp\; Sat 3/21 @ 7PM\nSun 3/22 @ 2PM\nThe next perf
 ormances by the Cleveland Ballet might seem a bit startling to some people
 : they’re dancing to George Frideric Handel’s beloved and very familia
 r 1741 oratorio Messiah. The work was choreographed by former New York Cit
 y Ballet dancer principal dancer Robert Weiss\, who went to found the Caro
 lina Ballet\, where he’s still artistic director.\nOf course\, the Cleve
 land Ballet won’t be dancing to a recording! They’ll be joined by the 
 BlueWater Chamber Orchestra and the Cleveland Chamber Choir\, who will giv
 e them live musical power to fuel their dancing\, with Gregory Ristow cond
 ucting.\nAnd while most people associate Messiah with Christmas\, when all
  those “sing-along” Messiahs happen\, it’s actually more appropriate
  for Easter. Only its first movement deals with Jesus’ birth\; the secon
 d is about his death and resurrection\, and the final part covers judgment
  day and his promise of redemption for believers.\nThe evening concerts wi
 ll be preceded by Behind the Curtain talks at the rear of the theater at 6
 :20pm\, where Weiss\, Cleveland Ballet artistic director and other members
  of the ballet’s artistic staff will share some background into the prod
 uction.\nThe performances take place at Playhouse Square's State Theatre.
