Unfortunately can't be there due to the other side of the world thing. But enjoy it. The Messiah is a phenomenal work. Are you doing the whole of it?

[darcydodo]

All of it except for four choruses (and presumably the attached solos); I don't know if they got cut because we ran out of time to rehearse or if they were never going to be there in the first place. I mildly suspect the former, but it's possible that it was going to be too long to perform otherwise. And all the ones we're skipping are from the third movement, so given that we rehearsed them in no (to my mind) logical order, that does seem to indicate a bit of forethought.

BTW, I lied; all the choruses we're skipping are from the second part. :)
