  • Buy tickets through the Reilly Arts Center website or box office; the venue says it cannot verify third-party ticket authenticity.
  • Arrive with time to get settled before the performance, so you can listen closely to the concert’s unfolding choral sequence.
  • Expect selected movements rather than the complete oratorio, with the program focused on the Christmas portion of Messiah.
  • Follow the musical arc from prophetic longing and solemn comfort through darkness and wonder to the joyful Hallelujah Chorus.
  • Silence your phone during the choral performance to avoid interrupting the quiet passages or the closing chorus.
